I'd agree that making it easier to compress ore, would make POS based compression next to pointless. The only way to avoid that would be to add a cost which is unavoidable. Like a percentage cost taken, whenever you compress ore in station. 5% say. (maybe 10%, and standings can reduce)
Ditto with adding it to a ship or mobile structure, unless it's inherently lossy.
The UI hints I like. Yes, it's kind of 'dumbing down Eve', but I think it's handy for training newcomers, and people do never bothered looking.
Consolidating ore types is also a good idea. Complicated to get the numbers working out right, but not hellishly so. When I've dipped my toe into the compressed Veld market, the basic sold quickly. The dense is still sitting. Because the volume is too low for people to bother looking at.
Woo! CSM 9!

An ambush, during the 24 hour waiting period to start a war.

Not a fan, really. It pretty much makes the compression POS module pointless.
(In case people think I'm just being negative, I'm looking for arguments why that's not the case, or why it's not an important case. Consider me a devil's advocate)

Well, /sitting/ in an orca is now, iirc about 17 days. 
That is a point though.
It'd be interesting if you need the ore processing skills at some level to be able to compress it. Though that may be a degree of complexity which is taking it too far.
One thing it would do is /massively/ increase linger time in highsec belts, as there'd be next to no need to offload the ore. An orca would be able to hold the equivalent of 50 million units of Veld in just its ore bay.

I wouldn't say no-one (but goons) wants to change compression. Items 2 and 3 on the initial list are ones I'm fairly happy with.
Woo! CSM 9!
