AUR 4800 Militia 180mm Reinforced Steel Plates Blueprint
AUR 4800 Militia Shield Regenerator Blueprint
AUR 4800 Militia Shield Resistance Amplifier
AUR 4800 Militia Power Diagnostic System Blueprint
The first is a size of plate that does not exist any more, the second and third are passive shield modules, which don't exist any more, and the last provides a small PG and shield bonus, which is another niche which doesn't exist any more. I think you're blowing this way out of proportion. I doubt anyone bought AUR specifically for those four modules which, let's face it, didn't see much use anyway, which is why CCP didn't include them in the vehicle revamp.
As for BPO removal in general, I'm not worried- the really nice blueprints were all from PSN store packs, which makes it much harder for CCP to mess with them (or so I've heard). Really? A passive shield hardener couldn't have been replaced with an active? An armour plate couldn't have been replaced with that hardener? If the only items you think qualify as "equivalent" are the exact same modules then no wonder you stuggle to think of anything other than a refund.
If statistically it is not the same item then they are not equivalent. One is either more or less valuable then the other. But because there is no base line price point for both items, the respective value of one over the other would be highly opinionated and based on a persons specific perspective. Which will differ from person to person.
People spent an X amount of aur on certain items. Sure, once the AUR refund is done there really isn't anything equivalent to buy with that AUR, but its better then just trying to guess what would be adequate compensation, and having people angry they didn't get an AUR refund because instead of that they got a module they may or may not have any use for anyway. At least with an AUR refund people get to choose what they want to spend it on, where as swapping the old BPO"s for completely different ones would be essentially robbing the customers of 1.) their money, and 2.) their choice.

statistically only about 12% of the total money generated in game daily comes from PC. I think BPO's and the pub matches are probably a bigger concern considering almost everyone uses a BPO, where as the PC phenomenon we have right now is somewhat isolated because the money generated in it is being held by a small portion of the population meaning that it wont cause any sort of inflation.
In short, PC is making some people unfairly rich, but it DOES NOT have a big effect on the future economy of the game.
BPO's are negating the fear of Isk VS risk, and because most people own them the risk of these items causing long term inflation is very real.
In the BPO's defense though, I made an all BPO suit and an all militia/standard equivalent and the difference between the free suit and the isk suit is never going to be more then 6-7k isk depending on what set up your using. So really, I don't think these BPO's are that big a deal at all. Of course I don't have all the statistics to look at like CCP does but meh. Will just have to see how the player market is when it happens.
