Those that want to take the risk, enjoy the POS bonuses. The choice is yours. I may have missed a detail or two, but isn't there going to be a problem with the number of available office slots at stations with research?
Currently a small corp uses a POS for research because of limited station research slots, and can locate their office at any station in the system. If those corps move their research from POS to station post-Crius, it seems to me they will have to locate their office at a station that has research. And because of system-wide cost scaling, there seems to be little incentive to manufacture at stations without research. Which would seem to lead everyone to congregate at the research stations, which would then lead to high office rent at those stations. This might make it very expensive to run corporation research jobs.
A large corporation doing research may have no problem with high office rent. An individual doing research doesn't need to rent an office. But a small corporation which does need a corporation hangar for blueprint research may find the office cost difficult to bear. Are there any planned changes to the number of available offices and/or the rent structure? And if office rent will not be an issue, why will anyone use a non-research station for industry?

Are you sure it's a good idea to not give the Reprocessing Array a lot more internal volume? Like 10 times as much? I was thinking deliver ore to the compression array, and move compressed ore into the reprocessing array.

Although I'm in favor of increasing the defenses of POS and such, what it means to the small player corps in nullsec and lowsec is that they'll have a much bigger problem trying to hit enemy POSs. Adjusting the offence and defenses of the POSs needs to be done, but will mostly benefit the larger Corps and alliances. Just saying... I'm not sure how improvement of POS defenses favors larger corps. It's true, larger corps have an advantage, both in actively defending their own starbases and in attacking those of others, whether they be actively defended or not. This will be true regardless of the state of POS defense options.
I suppose your point is that stronger defenses would make it more difficult for a small gang to take down an unattended POS, which is true. But not all of those POSes being attacked are owned by large corps.
My opinion is that any weapons system in the game ought to be viable for some purpose, else why does it exist? Currently a lot of POS defense mods are useless.

So highsec and lowsec towers would require 30% more fuel than those in nullsec & wormhole space. That part sounds peachy, but my concern for the well-being of nullsec residents gives me pause (I'm assuming brain tumors are a bad thing).

Which in turn tweak the Nash equilibrium in EVE universe to favor those interested in destruction and limitation, restricting those wanting to build and structure. From one paranoid to another, have you considered it from the perspective of DvP?
