Where is the justification for DOUBLE the damned taxes on Concord-run custom offices? Failing to see how that does anything but SHAFT folks that run PI and those that make stuff out of PI-made items and those that USE such items. PI return on time investment in highsec it ALREADY poor-to-marginal, why do you want to make it even worse?
Blueprint copy availability is WAY to damned restrictive. ANY NPC CORP should have them available in their LP store.
Oooo, space increase - like how do you manage to have to worry about running out of space in a customs office when your launchpad can only store 10K m3 max? THAT chance is no benefit at all and makes ZERO sense to even claim to be a benefit.
With the "you can kill them now" factor what idiot would LEAVE anything in one more than a few seconds while unloading stuff from / loading stuff to a planet?
This seems to be "YET ANOTHER NOT THOUGHT OUT" concept from CCP that just screws players for NO benefit.
I am now VERY happy I've been working my way OUT of doing PI due to the already poor ratio of "time investment vs. profit".
As far as that "minute amount of time" comment - you still have to go COLLECT the stuff and get it sold. The time investment is NOT minute, though I grant it's small - but the profits also are small. You also are failing to take the time investment of FINDING and SETUP for even a "marginal" planet to do PI on into account.

That would take a long time for a lone supercap pilot for anyone who may be wondering...
Those specs are comparable to a small POS - which I've had 4 low-skill alts in DESTROYERS manage to take down.
That is NOT going to be a tough target at all, given no defences and apparently no resists.
The availability of the blueprints as ONLY copies from CONCORD specifically (I don't count the FW stuff as very few folks bother with FW) makes the availability of these VERY limited and a PITA. The blueprints should also be available from AT LEAST one corp in each empire, since this IS affecting Empire space (lowsec) not just NulSec.
Where is the justification for the doubled tax rate on HighSec offices? Highsec PI is bloody low profit margin as it is and quite low income based on TOTAL time investment (don't forget you have to COLLECT the stuff, take it to market, and sell it), this will be enough to drive a LOT of folks out of it entirely.
Yet another "NOT THOUGHT OUT" concept from CCP, though at least this time you're giving us some time to point out the obvious issues you've somehow managed to overlook. Mabey, JUST MABEY, you might actually be starting to get a faint clue?
I won't comment on that joke about "we hope a new type of company" etc - if you meant that seriously, you MUST have been high when you posted it, or you're even more clueless than that riot-inciting post from Zulu was.
Others have already addressed the OBVIOUS "blob" issues, how the hell you missed THAT I totally fail to understand.
