The first thing I wanted to say here was that the provision of AUR suits to new players was primarily motivated by an intention to give them some more powerful suits that they could use right out of the gate. This means AUR gear for the lower requirements. I want to highlight that to my knowledge, that decision was not intentionally related to trying to sell gear. I like the idea of giving them that option, since we want to convey the notion that you can have more powerful fits available.
That being said, I totally see your concern. Messaging needs to be clear that gear can be bought for both ISK and AUR. I am not averse to introducing people to AUR early, so they know it's an option, but any notion you have to buy the higher quality suits with AUR only would be a very bad message to convey. I'll bounce that topic around with folks.
I am a bit hesitant to heavily unleash vehicles on Academy players, but the idea of preproviding some militia vehicles is not a bad idea.
On the militia cloak topic, I am extremely hesitant to suggest something like that, unless it was done like a Cov Ops cloak in EVE, where there's a suit bonus on that particular suit offering like 99% reduction of CPU use of cloak modules, so that the respective cloak fitting is hilariously high, and hence only works on that suit.
I am worried about the notion of the Academy option you suggest for thinning out the queues further. Not a bad idea, but more queues equals less people in each, which can make matchmaking harder. I see merits though.
The Rookie Help channel thing is something we've definitely talked about before. I want to see it happen. There might be some sort of issue with the capacity of such a channel an absolutely murdering the chat system. I think there is a reason we're split amongst many stations across New Eden. I also, of course, support a DUST ISD.

I think not. In like 99% of cases, if it requires any sort of visible UI... like a checkbox... it's probably a patch thing.

Most people seem to agree I am bad at fitting things. So I try to leave those details to players better at it. :D
