I just want to throw my two cents into the mix.
I sit on the fence on the respec issue, but i lean somewhat towards supporting a limited respec.
Not for my own selfish wants. I would be fine and happy with my choices even though some of the changes wouldn't exactly favour my play style, but they wouldn't change the role of my suit so drastically as to make me change my mind. However I know there are certain people out there who deserve a respec, namely the Heavies who have devoted countless hours and SP to a heavy suit that they chose out of necessity rather than a premeditated decision. I have somewhere around 17mill SP invested in a few different roles, specificly Gal Assault and Logi, but I like to dabble in other roles including Heavy suites (especially recently due to the awesome event you are currently putting on).
I personally think the respec should be limited to the Heavy and Scout suit trees. These roles are most effected by the coming changes and deserve the choice they should have been presented with in the first place. I don't think the other suits are changing drastically enough to warrant a respec. For the most part, the suits still cater to a specific play style which isn't being altered to a large degree in the coming update. If you are an armour tanking kind of person you will still want to stick with Gallente. If you are more of a hide and go shield-regen kinda player than you will stick with Caldari.
Dropsuit Upgrades on the other hand will (for the most part) benefit anyone no matter the role they chose. Even if you are changing from a Armour tank to shield, it doesn't hurt having the choice to use armour in the future. As for the other upgrades, unless you're completely altering the way you will play the game, from electronics to equipment these skills will always come in handy. Therefore I believe they should be left alone.
Weapons should not be touched either (except for heavy weapons if you are adding the new racial heavy weapons).
There is not enough benefit to matching racial suits to weapons to warrant a change. The way I see it, if you are a lover of the CR, you are not going to switch to an AR just for a slightly faster reload speed (unless you over nerf some of the weapons). Besides, it only take like 600k sp to proto a weapon anyway. If you really want to change then save up for a couple weeks!
Not here to push any buttons, just wanted to share my two cents with CCP.
