Good on you to find a well rounded fit for each suit, but if you were to try instead to make a certification lv for each suit bringing in your suits as a general guideline (think ISIS (not the terrorist group)) I could see it being much easier for new players. General purpose fits, not niche fits would seem the way to go. Ones in keeping with the intent of the dropsuits Thats the thing though, there is such a great variety in roles, for instance the suggestion of someone in this topic saying that REs were better for a specific suit than a nanite injector. Thats personal opinion and is very situational for which we have the market. Also there are many ways to set up your tank on your suit with combinations of shields, armor and sensor suites, all of which take different skill sets.
Looking at the old Black Eagle fit that CCP gave as a reward for testing it suffered greatly in 2 aspects, it's stealth (scout suit) and utility (didn't even have a utility slot for any equipment and the tank sucked).
Fortunately though with specific bonuses to each suit the training certifications for each suit could capitalize on the bonuses for each suit. This is how EVE:Online structures its certification process, also including required skills as lv1 certification as a base to look at for primary SP investment.
There is no such thing as a general purpose fit that will be good. Being good on the battlefield at one thing is better IMO and has been proven many times over the last 3 years. Ask Djinn Kujo about his multiple suit setup of the objectives for defence in Planetary Conquest battles, there is no good way to be the middle ground and to do many roles without sacrificing something.
How long til this hits PC?

Quick note on buying practices: Try not to encourage new players to buy 100 of anything at a time. They should keep a small stock on hand that will take them through one or two battles, any more than that generally leaves new players broke as hell and also sets the bad habit of buying large numbers of gear which they may never even use. Smaller stocks on smaller time scales exposes cost (how much you die and are spending to restock) vs. income (isk income per match) much more finely and obviously, which helps them get a feel for how their budget is going.
Every time I talk to a merc who complains about being broke they always have large quantity stocking practices. Every single time.
The only exception would be for stuff like the old charge rifle price, where there is a bug/miss-pricing in the market you want to take advantage of. |

Will these suits be like the APEX non customizable? (Maybe a little cheaper since they are intended for new players).
Also it would be very nice to know all requirements for full-fit-suits (like black eagle scout, or others). |

I personally like having RE's on the minmatar fits because, in my experience of using it, the RE is way more reliable on a minmatar suit than an uplink and has more uses.
