Fantastic idea - effectively, a station that jumps randomly around the eve via wormholes.
It might require an exemption from the ban on clone jumping into w-space, as it would be very inconvenient for people to be 'left behind' with all their assets inside.
The main problem is that if people could dock any class of ships in them, they could bypass the WH mass limits. Maybe it'd be ok if undocking was restricted to appropriate ships for the destination system.

Their server performance has increased recently to the point that a downtime is possible in as little as 15 minutes. I think they can risk adding these.
Regarding cost - how about making them about half as expensive as normal stations, but easier to capture?
One remaining issue is how people would build them. A nomadic corp might not have the resources to guard an egg for the usual length of time it takes to deploy and fill a standard one, so perhaps this burden should also be reduced? Perhaps they could be built at starbases or in 0.0 stations instead?

Trick is to click that assemble option 5 mins before dt :P
People already do this, the idea being to have just enough time to fill the egg with umpteen freighter loads of stuff before downtime and minimising the time when it can be destroyed.
Anchoring pre-built components is a fairly good compromise, depending on how big each of them is, HP, total volume to haul and anchor, whether freighters are needed etc. Taking this route, I'd suggest making each one 10,000m^3 and requiring about 50 total, so people have the option of splitting the work or using a couple of JFs.
