Regarding the Afterburner-MWD Changes.
All i know is that on Chaos,my Battleship was fitting with one MWD (standard market item) and one afterburner (NPC Pirate loot version)
After the patch that changed over to the meganewton's, my MWD and afterburner were changed to the standard meganewton MWD + afterburner. (ie - the smallest sized ones)
Fitted on a battleship, there was hardly any extra speed at all when i activated them.
If the patch works in the same way on TQ tomorrow, then people who fly cruisers and battleships especially will be flying a lot more slowly in-space, and i'm sure there will a lot of shouting and yelling "they broke my mwd drive" and so forth
This pretty much sums it up.
Standard Meganewton Drives - fit on frigates / indies
Meganewton 10 - Cruisers
Meganewton 100 - battleships
As for how we'll get these, i could not say.
Will they be available to buy on the NPC market?
Will the blueprints be made available, so manufacturing corps can start making them and selling to pilots?
Jake has prety much summed it up, unless you have some fantastic AB or MWD, they all become Frigate class modules.
So if you're a miner like myself, you'll have to scout the belts in a frig, make your bm's and then change to your BS/Cruiser to mine and once you're ready jump in your incredably slow bus,(especially if you have expanders fitted, like most miners), and pray your bm's work perfectly. Other wise, npc rat's will be a major problem in the lower sec areas, forget about the PC pirates.
It is also going to effect travel between systems, as your bus, filled with minerals/goods, might as well have a sign saying "sitting Duck, valuable cargo, come kill me", so for the solo miner/cargo runner, life will become almost impossible.
How long will it take to do the 20k to the gate at 53m/s... longer than you'll live, even if it is only npc's!
This is the only part about this patch I find appauling, the rest should make play a lot better, but the dev's do seem to forget that not everyone want's to go pvp all the time :(
