Absolutely. During the mass test on Singularity I flew a Crow (which is awesome, btw) and during fleet warps, was moving at 1.5 AU/s with dreads. When warping by myself, I could actually see myself passing people on my overview in warp.

Looks like we could be getting additional SOE ships!!!

Well, to put SoE on par with other pirate factions, they need a BS.

I hadn't realised the mobile depots would allow you to refit Tech 3 subs before. That's pretty interesting for WHs!

After reading the newest Chronicle on the rubicon feature site, I think Rubicon's ghost sites are the precursor to capsuleer wormhole generation arrays

Do you guys have any idea how long anchored cans and the new deployable units last in space?
I mean, if I deploy a mobile depot somewhere in null, do I find it the next day, unless someone destroys it ?

Cheers Jeremiah. Well I submitted an idea to CCP_Fozzie, whose team works on the deployable units, and whether that'll be useful or not I have no idea.
The idea is to have a deployable local cloak unit that cloaks every other unit/can, unused ships in its range. The cloak is broken as soon as a capsuleer (in a ship or a pod) gets in its range.
Can't be scanned, but the uncloaked ships using it can be.
The idea is to allow semi-permanent hidden stashes anywhere a player needs them.
I am not aware of most of the implications regarding how deployable units affect server load, so this might just not be doable, but that's up to Fozzie.

I'd rather something like that be a heavy skill requirement, like a Covert Mobile Depot. Anchoring V, Cloaking V, etc.

So find a quiet system and have a permanent base that no one can ever find? Not good design.

Why a quiet system? just any system, get a safe off dscan and drop your cloaky camp to be used in dire times
Well in a busy system someone might scan you down and find it. My point is that having assets all over that are next to impossible to lose is not a good design. The mobile depots do what you want but people can find and RF them easily (5k hp in shields) so they really are only temporarily safe.

So, when assaulting a mobile depot, it has a reinforced timer just like POCO's and POS's. However, instead of the 1 day 15 hours that we're used to it's 48 hours long.
