My thoughts on the minmatare fits:
Logi: Why on earth does he have no self healing for armor? Even a reactive plate would be enough, but no self healing is not viable. I would rather have less armor then no healing. So either give them a repping module, or switch to two active plates.
Assault CR, is a frontline weapon, the logi should be behind the heavies, so a Standard CR would be better for shooting past the heavies. Personally I would prefer a MD, but that might be to difficult for the newbs (friendly fire).
Assault: Since he is running in packs, a logi should not be far away, so give him two plates and no self healing.
The assault CR would be better here in my opinion.
Commando: I would prefer self healing here as well, since if you give him a swarm, he will often end up on high ground on his own, so healing would be better. If you switch to MD CR combo the no reps approach would be ok, since logis should be around. BTW the standard swarms just ticle the vehicles, so not really useful in my opinion, would prefer the MD CR combo in this case. And I have prof 5 on all 3...
Sentinel: Since a ferro plate doesn't cut it in HMG fights, I'd prefer a KinCat over the plate in this case. Speed Heavy all the way!
Scout: Haven't played to much in light suits, but I think the fit is decent. Though I personally would fit the ewar in the highs (passive scans) and ferros in the lows. But that's just my 0,2Ct.
I don't get why the gallente scout gets remotes and no active scanner...?

Forget about what I said about passive reps, I had a longer break from the game, and didn't know, that all suits have passive reps now...

'Renegade' Commando
Swap one of the weapons for a CB rifle...my first inclination is to say the Swarm Launcher...but the AV utility gained from it far outweighs the suppressing power of the Mass Driver...so unless you add efficacy against vehicles to one of the MD variants...I'd say swap the Mass Driver out for a Combat Rifle (Mattari Space side have missiles as a secondary weapons system, so...it works in their racial flavor to keep swarms).
Absolutely not!
The commando would be the only suit with the min special weapon, so do not remove the MD - PERIOD!!! The swarm has to be replaced with the CR and it's fine.
The swarm is rediculous in basic form without mods, I even would go so far as to say, pull the swarms of the caldari as well. Everybody has a Militia free swarm he can use to try it out!

All Commandos should have their racial rifle + their racial specialty weapon.
Minmatar: CR + MD
Amarr: SR + LR
Gallente: AR + PLC or Shotgun (personally I think the PLC is more fun)
Caldari: RR + SnR
The swarms are available to anybody with the Militia Starter AV suit, so no need to cripple the commandos for infantry combat.
And this is coming from somebody who uses swarms on Minmando a lot. But for a bluberry, the MD is a better way to learn the way of the matar, same goes for Caldari and SnR's.
Also, give them the typical rifle for their race, so standard CR, Standard AR, Standard SR, and standard RR. No assault variants, except on the gallente, since that's their standard.
Also do not use sidearms from other races on any of the suits.

BTW, I know you did the factional BPOs as a spin of to the aurum variants, but if possible, pleeeeease give the factional suits a seperate factional color scheme. It would be a even better reward for the factional grinding! Relate it to the factional ships in eve, so just put the eve factional paintschemes on these suits. PLZ

Everyone will have their own fit that they like, why not just limit the suits to only accepting standard modules? So at least then we can fit them as we so please?
That's why I'm not really interested in the logi suits, since I have a sever logi since forever, and basic equipment is cheap (or not desireable) I don't need it. The sentinel and commando on the other hand....
