Man, that is awesome. Now if they also allow caps in high sec, everything will great again.

yes just not the ones related to the player owned market that CCP see happening.

Unless the new market citadel is owned by a huge group that has the manpower to truely defend the structure from ALL of Eve, no one will use one.

If you have to either pay 5% in taxes to sell your items or 20% to get the items back should the citadel be destroyed, you are going to just pay the higher taxes and stay in an NPC station.

If we are honest, the only groups in the game that could even consider putting up an xl in high sec to function as the new "Jita Market Hub" would be Goons, NC., and/or PL. If anyone else does, the other groups will burn it to the ground because that is what Eve is.

With the tax changes, all CCP has done is ensure prices will rise across Eve.

Fine by me to be honest. More reasons to fight, more player driven content.

Which in turn means that should your tradehub be blown up, your assets will be safe to be picked up in another station.
So in Jita it may be worth having a XL if that gives you tax benefits over the tax from the station itself.

Is the goal to make NPC stations to be second category in longer term ?

The goal should be for people to put those in stationles systems assuming those systems will have to offer anything in term of localization or resources.

CCP Ytterbium whats the max tax owner will be able to set up ?

dunno, nobody will leave jita to find out.

between having docking rights revoked, taxes changed on a whim, the citadel itself likely to get wardecced by everyone and it's dog as soon as it's anchored...

6% tax seems pretty trivial to avoid all that hassle.

Although I can pay it with ease, the on use jump clone fee seems really counter to what I thought was the original idea, of letting new players get out into risky situations without needing to worry about expensive clones.

Making it so that they have to either pay 5 mil to jump into a clone, or search around to find someone with a public access citadel with a cloning bay and no JC fee seems like a bad decisions for a small isk sink.

You are going to pull untold billions out of the market each day through those brutal market transaction fee's, 5 mil a clone jump is inconsequential in comparison.

Leave it alone, think of the newbies.

This is not a very good place to use the "appeal to newbies" tactic. Jump clones, in this scenario, are being used to protect implants. A set of +3s costs a person 40-50m isk simply to plug in. If they can swing +3s, they can probably swing a jump clone once in a while to protect those +3s. A newbie who legitimately is too poor to afford a 5m jump clone fee also can't afford the implants he'd be using the service to protect in the first place.

If you have good standings these 6% will melt significantly, and since transaction tax remains everywhere, I don't see how can a citadel attract many traders, unless its guarded by a huge force 23/7 and earns itself a good reputation. Then again, we have events like burn Jita which will only change the system name accordingly.
