Even as a Carebear who would benefit most from some of these ideas, I'd have to say NO. T2 turrets, yes, but not double powered, double lock speed. Pretty much everything else is so overpowered (or out of place) that imbalance is the only sure outcome.
The Clone vat is something we want in a very stable and safe location. Cap ships are just barely suitable for Clone Vats due to the huge size and mass. A POS can lose power at any time due to fuel shortages, and reinforced mode would shut off a vat just like any other CPU using structure. I don't know about you, but I don't want my clone ending up stuck in the middle of a jump just because the timing was bad.
Smartbombs and DoomsDays hurt everything around, friend or foe, and even one's own drones. Having a device that did SB or DD without friendly collateral damage? Not NO, but HELL NO.
CPU/Power array boosters....well, since we can anchor almost unlimited numbers of structures at a POS, then we could have unlimited power/CPU for guns, hardeners, labs, and anything else we wanted on a single tower. (Even a small tower becomes a monster Deathstar) Yep, my response again is NO.
T2 Turrets sound good and all, but we're now getting in nice Faction modifications to the existing weapons and towers. In order to have T2 anything, we require blueprints. Since we have no T1 BP, we can invent nothing. (POS structures are done like this as an ISK sink) I say we stick to the Faction modified structures until there's a way to make our own structures.
The Mobile FF....This is EVE. There is no safety outside of a station. This is one of the things we learn on day 1. Complete immunity from harm while mining? Not even WoW has that 'feature'.
As for the Stealth Bubble, possibly, provided that the same restrictions for regular cloaking were imposed on those being cloaked. (No electronic emmissions, slow speed, etc.) Also, this thing has to be able to remotely project the cloaking to potentially dozens of ships. This requires great deal of power and CPU. This does NOT come cheap. Mobile warp disruptors take several warp scramblers + other components to make. A mobile cloak field would require quite a few cloak modules making for an expensive little toy.
