Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Hello all,
Just something I was thinking about this morning, the future of citadels and NPC stations.
The following is assuming that all citadel expansions have been released and are working as intended with the ability to perform all the tasks that an NPC station can perform.

Now that citadels have come around, they will be immediately be replacing POS structures fairly easily, however replacing NPC stations in the future years is another matter entirely.

Here is what I'm proposing, once the above conditions are met, then we once again make NPC stations destructible with the exception of one stations per faction (Item transfer would work like citadels when a station is destroyed, all items are transferred to the nearest NPC station). Naturally the best stations to leave as invulnerable would be the 4 main trade hubs, Jita, Amarr, Dodixie, and Rens, that way markets dont crash across the game.

For the actual destruction of the stations, they would have a massive amount of hitpoints and like with interbus, CONCORD and the faction navies would ignore attacks on stations, the station NPC owners would have to fight back with their station guns and NPC fleets, making destruction of the stations difficult.

Any thoughts? Good idea? Terrible idea?

Good thinking but....
Most corporations are part of the factions and empires, therefore i don't see why they would 'ignore' aggression on their property

NPC Stations are never going to go away.
There may be a thinning out of them in highsec, but they fill an important role in EVE and are needed for the health of the game.
