Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Unless I have missed something, it seems this subject has only been discussed in very limited scope.

The currently announced roadmap I know of Diagram by CCP, is that functionality will migrate and ultimately POSes will cease to exist and we can no longer build outposts.

Is that actually the plan?

Are outposts here to stay however almost useless or will they ultimately cease to exist?

If outposts will ultimately cease to exist, will they be converted to a citadel with corresponding modules as the outpost or simply deleted?

If delete. What will happen to the current assets still inside outposts? (eg: inactive players)

Because if roadmap goes like the way of the diagram, they will ultimately become useless, perhaps consider converting them into Large or XL Citadels on or shortly after patch instead of phasing them out (subject to all outpost functions have also been made for citadels of course)?

Players have put a lot of time and resources into these structures and I do not believe it is right to simply make them obsolete or deleted.

There are currently a very large amount of POSes and POS modules out there, Faction and Non-Faction.

What will become of them? Will they be converted to other similarly functioned or similarly valued structures or modules?

I ask these questions because I feel that these are very valid questions as both of these structure systems currently occupy a very large amount of resources not to mention the player time involved. And as the current limited information given to us seems to indicate that the players are not compensated (maybe this is a poor choice of word, perhaps refunded or exchanged) into the new system.

Maybe CCP have not even planned into this, but if this is coming in 4-6 months time, I think it is very reasonable to have started discussing topics such as this.

I very much hope to see official CCP response as well as comments from other concerning players.
