I will try to take these things one at a time.
1) Players into 0.0 - I agree with what many have said. Some people play to relax ans have fun, which does not include combat or worrying about getting blown up all the time in their minds. So, here is one possible idea. Create an NPC "guild" just for miners, industrialist, scientists, etc, that people pay to get into (a large annual fee like 1 billion) that makes you green to all all players. You can only fly non-combat ships but the consequences for destroying one is huge. You also can not belong to a 0.0 alliance (so they don't sneak things in and out) or have an alt in 0.0 alliance. Such a group would greatly help 0.0 and let them get on with killing each other like they want to.
2. Any additional industiral skills should help people, not make things harder. For example, T2 manufacturing efficiency in order to build T2 stuff faster. I am an industrialist and was amazed at the lack of skills available for these activities.
3. When I started the game I was amazed that you could directly build ships from scratch. If people do get to build components, I agree that they should take away from the mineral demands on the ships, but that could get complicated - a very big overhaul of the current system. Any changes to t1 components would meet with a huge uproar, so it could probably only be done with new items. One idea is to make some (not all just some) of the components for T2 items buildable in high sec space.
4. In order for public use of POS labs, at least some use, would be to allow non-corp and non-aliance people to use them remotely for ME and PE research. This would be a huge help for ME slot availability and they would not have to have direct access to the POS for use. This does not help with those BPOs that require items for researching, but this could be built into the costs of the slot also. Finally, it you make bpcs deliverable items that the owner of the POS could not see (even when being made) for which they would not be paid for until deliverable, that may be one way to do copy slots.
Could to see some of the poeple I know commenting here. Take care all, we are the targets of Eve you know.
