I am sure that this has been tossed around a bit and I couldn't get a clear answer from anyone at EVE VEGAS. But what do you think will happen with Pre-existing Structures, POS, and EGGS? I mean we have certainly poured hard ISK into these things for them to just reintroduce new citadels and such and then do away with these others seems like a few people could wind up losing out on their hard earned isk? Wonder if there is a plan to reimburse for current structures and POS, or will they allow people who have have Eggs but have not used them yet to recap on their investements? Just curious.

Personally I very much hope that they will de-spawn after a given grace period to allow the new system to have a meaningful impact on, in particular, null security space. The clearing of old player built stations in null sec space is critical to ensuring a rich environment with the new citadel system.

The idea of reimbursement is a difficult one - exactly who do you reimburse? The person who dropped the egg? The corporation who currently owns it? Either way there can be no justice to who really put the capital into paying for it. Again my personal opinion: no reimbursement to anyone for anchored stations and poses. Any corporation or alliance who can fund these structures can easily fund more (and that includes me). Poses/eggs in hangars could be reimbursed at some historic price.

EVE is harsh.

CCP should just delete all that stuff and when the former owners come here to cry, tell them to HTFU.

Most likely owners will be reimbursed in about two years when they actually remove them.
Of course, that is two years away which is likely why CCP is not committing to a 100% hard course of action right now.

Historically ...

* CCP buys-back BPO at NPC base sell price. All ISK and time spent on research is lost.
* CCP buys-back other items at an arbitrary market "average" price, sometimes established before changes are announced.

The most recent buy-back was in Crius (or was it Phoebe ... ), where many invention and reverse-engineering items were removed.

I doubt CCP will waste peoples isk on research now it's a significant cost, rather than the previous 10k or so isk it used to cost. But I don't believe there has been a buyback since that got introduced.

I imagine at some point outposts get switched over to the closest sized citadel.

poses, no idea. but there are a whole bunch of structures coming soon™ so probably get replaced with one of those.
