Can I have my skill points back? 
This will pretty much kill the low-sec small-time harvesters like me.

For moar tears, read below:
I can still launch a can using the command center, correct? But that is limited to 500m3. I do a lot more volume than that in a night, and if I let it slip a few nights it can really pile up (I fill up a "nano"-Crane pretty quick!) This might work for low-sec if the launch pad mechanics are changed to allow 10000m3 cans. Otherwise... Yeah, I'm done with the feature.

This feature does not, in any way, benefit smaller corps. If you mean smaller in the sense of 40 members, then maybe. But if you mean smaller in the casual "four IRL friends in a corp" way, there is absolutely no benefit. I have no hope of maintaining my own customs office in low-sec without a major alliance, and I rely on the goodwill and (mental) stability of the office owner to do PI on a "claimed" planet.
What this really does is remove a "job" avenue from casual players.

Nice deflection there.
The hating isn't about danger but rather that PI will be coalesced to larger and larger groups like so many other things in EVE (sov, for instance).
It's a dead-end for the casual player now. Our best option is to stop selling our products, create a stockpile, and wait for the inevitable market price explosion.

If you bothered to read (and more importantly, understand) the replies in this thread you will see what people are really opposed of: this particularly bad implementation of what supposed to be part of an amazing concept that links EVE and DUST worlds.
This.
I am not at all afraid of PvP or the implications of this PI implementation in terms of "making friends and enemies" (aside from the additional ******* work I'd have to put into my already short play time, relationships take work...) What I do take issue with is that it will cost me four customs offices to do what I do right now in low-sec. I know for a fact I could probably go in with some of the other tenants for two if they're up for it. That leaves two entirely funded by me.
Now, I could probably shoot a can up for a lot of this stuff; I'm going to try that tonight and see how I like it and whether it's worth the time. If I can't do it via can alone, it's not at all worth my time.
I run four planets small time for about 250mil/month. I have nothing to really worry about in the long run compared to some of these other folks, but I have to reiterate: This planned feature greatly inhibits a "job" in the list that small people like me can do in null- and low-sec.
