1. Nerf insurance. Keep current insurance system only for t1 frigs and cruisers. All other ship classes should have no NPC insurance coverage. Disable insurance for t1 frigs and cruisers if the character owning them has security status of -5 or lower, if the ship was destroyed by CONCORD
I could agree with this. It would certainly make things more interesting in 0.0 and we wouldn't have to see everyone cruising around in a battleship all the time.

2. Nerf missions. No level 4+ mission should be available in high security space. It's already hard enough to scan mission runners. Most level 4 mission runners in high sec are running Navy Ravens with faction gear, completely solo. This is evidence that they have it too easy. It should never be that easy in game like EVE.
Agreed. I think this has to do with the ISK inflation that has been happening over the years.

3. Clone costs should be restored to Castor (or pre-castor) levels. A 45 mil sp char should be prepared to pay out 32 mil.
Oh god no. Why the hell would anyone like me undock anymore? Some people think it is an advantage to have 63M SP like me. It isn't. You die just as easily to a gate gank as anyone else. It'd be hardcore but I'd be spending all my time trying to get the ISK to pay for my clone all the time. As it is, I don't want to bother flying frigates or even cruisers anymore. They cost less than I do.

4. 0.0 belt spawn NPC strengths should be restored to Castor levels. In particular, there need to be much more warp scrambling and webbing NPCs. Currently, your average 0.0 isk farmer character with noobish skills uses a Raven with 2 warp core stabs and t1 cloak. Such a Raven setup has no problem if killing every possible 0.0 belt spawn. This is unacceptably easy. There should be at least some 0.0 belt spawns that are too hard for such poorly setup, poorly skilled Ravens.
I think this may already on its way but I still won't be holding my breath.

5. Many empire systems that had their security status raised to 0.5 and above should be returned back to 0.4 or below. At the same time, to balance out the shrinking high sec space, introduce measures that make high sec suicide ganking harder: such as CONCORD remote-repaiering the victim (will only help victims in big ships or well tanked ones). But the true nature of EVE should remain PvP, hence empire space should have a lot more low sec systems.
You still have people in Empire systems who will want to do their own thing seperate from those high risk areas. I can't see this changing. You want to draw people to EVE, not fustrate them into quitting.
