Sounds like an added cost to the usual deployment price, nothing more. The reason - ?

Could it be that the large alliances are backing this to remove small group competition. And force more trade to their trade towers. Because thatās what it will do.

Players and groups of players of all sizes in MMOs like to have a place to call home, whether functional or purely cosmetic. This prevents solo and small corps access to such gameplay whilst for the large corps and alliances it will just be another temporary transitional arbitrary rule change to deal with.
Thatās a shame.
I guess the floating space castles my solo characters have will just get boarded up and put in storage and the pilots lapse into Alpha.
Not that I donāt have pilots and accounts in big alliances too - which will be unaffected - but I will miss having a home of my own in EVE.

Now this completely proves that the eve devs have lost their mindā¦
First they openly kill any pve with this trig nonsense and now non big block trade is made nearly impossible due to double costs?
Why not go the whole way ccp and declare all areas of eve to null?
Because THIS is the wet dream of the null blocksā¦give it to themā¦
I mean you will loose 2/3 of your subscriptions in the process but who cares.hm?
Better the loudest voice on the server is satisfied and we have peace.hm?
The peace of a graveā¦

Making everything null isnāt what the blue donut wants. They need highsec to feed off of.
And what better way of increasing the feed rate, than getting rid of the little guys.
Because when all the little guys have gone. There is only the big guys left.

If you got rid of all the little fish, what would the big fish feed on?

When the little shops close. You have to go to the supermarket.

Yes, being pedantic when itās clear from the discussion what people mean is one of my biggest pet peeves. Itās the kind of thing that only lawyers and IT professionals do.
Youāre asking this like this was my idea or decision.
Here is a really crazy idea. If you donāt like grinding structures, then DONāT DO IT. If you have to destroy a structure for strategic reasons, if for some other reason, such as wanting the moon it is drilling, then the strategic/resources gain should be the reward. These core do nothing but paint targets on anyone that cannot muster a big fleet at the drop of a hat

FWIW, they also feed off lowsec.
Example: go through PLās lowsec killmails, and you will see the same small cadre of lowsec alliances and corps being in on their kills again and again. Even their hunter alts are easy to reveal this way, as they occasionally accidentally hit F1 in the heat of the moment; you find say only 3 kills in their years long history, and all kills involve the exact same groups; or worse, they have alt corpmates with similar empty histories but also make the same mistake.
Seems silly that they even try to maintain an illusion of independence.
I agree with you, but it seems like CCPās desire is for players to have more incentives to kill structures.
NO, itās more than that, in an earlier post, it was said the having BPOās would allow players to build them on site and would not have the ālogistical riskā. This pretty much says they only want large entities that can bring a large security fleet to the stations that sell these things to have them.

It would have been way funnier if the cores were only bought and sold out of a single NPC station.
If it were strictly a bounty thing to encourage people to bash stations, then they would allow players to build them, since they would survive the wreck and could still be sold
No, because that would remove the cost for the largest groups, who would just build these internally and it would cost almost nothing.
Thatās not entirely true, the materials needed to build them would be consumed during production and therefore not be available to be sold. So instead of selling say 4bil worth of PI to buy one, 4bil worth of PI would be needed to make them. The only real difference is the lack of ālogistical riskā
If they were only sold at one station, the campers would have a hell of a time social distancing 
They call it ācontentā
