You should notice a disturbing lack of battle skirt on the Amarr light frame suit. There was an initial uproar regarding this, and we all sort of hoped CCP would go back and add in the battle skirt so it can be a true Amarr suit. But recently, CPM Nova Knife wrote the following in a Skype conversation,

After all, just read the description of Amarr suits coming directly from the game:

Dust 514 wrote:

Aesthetics are a vital aspect of the suit's design, because to the Amarr, aesthetics are function. Enshrined with the armor, the wearer becomes a vessel, the embodiment of God's will and an instrument of holy wrath, unmistakable, and feared, by all who look upon him. To the Amarr, the dropsuit itself is the weapon.

Now how in New Eden is the Amarr scout supposed to scout and inspire fear without the battle skirt like its medium and heavy brothers?

Armored skirts would make a lot more sense... if we were WWII German tanks, and we were protecting our easily-disabled tracks; properly designed leg armor, however, shouldn't require a skirt. I think the whole concept of a skirt was only included to make it visually obvious why Amarr were so damn slow, what with that massive amount of extra HP we get... I not only don't want a cumbersome skirt, but I'd like ultra-tight pants that would show my golden camel-toe of doom.

The minmatar heavy looks like those suits that some dude wears in a women's self-defense class so the women can kick him in the balls and such without hurting him. Even a chick can take down a matari heavy suit

The main problem I see is that the bottom half of the coat is long enough that it would actually need some physics or movement animations which take a lot of time to get right.

If you look between the legs, you can see that the central coat is just as long as the others meaning it would still need physics/animations to prevent it from clipping when moving.
