/tip tw0 cents...
IMO I doubt any of the new profs will be associated w/droids other than DEs ( DEs are pretty much well-rounded and if not will get better with the patches that will be coming soon). The most obvious/logical 'new profession' would be a Pilot-type. Maybe a Hull Designer-type with all the other crafters chipping in like getting new schematics and abilities. A space-faring explorer/scout just likethe ground-pounder version. I've run out of ideas for the fourth profession.....

a new profession showed up on TC months ago, and for the life of me i cant remember what it was.
i want to say acrobat, but that doesnt make any sense.

I'll bet they have Navagatior. Pilot, Hull Engeneer and prob something like dog walker. Something totally useless.

Here's my guess, a new starting profession called somthing like:
Spacefarer. It will have a navigation branch, a combat maneuvering branch, a damage control branch (including on-the-fly ship repair and use of shields), and a ships weapons branch.
Pilot- this is an elite profession stemming from Combat Maneuvering IV and Ships WeaponsIV
Ship Engineer -Stemming from Engineering IV and Damage Control IV
Salvager - (this was a pretty popular topic of conversationon the beta boards, and his post specifically mentioned "space junk") - Stemming from Navagation IV
-------
I'm probably totally wrong, and I'm sure I'm just projecting things that I want to see. I can dream, can't I?

I'm guessing that "Pilot" is going to be a novice profession. That way anyone that buys the expansion will be able to start flying ships right away. I mean who's going to want to buy the space expansion and then have to grind professions before they can start flying around?
Other professions, definately Ship Engineer, maybe some sort of space-based squad leader profession, and perhaps an elite pilot class that would buy you some new maneuvers or better ships.
Those are my guesses at least.

If I had to guess I would say:
Pilot.
as novice
Ship Eng.
Fighter Pilot
navigator
as Elite types
The pilot being the basic flight thing With the ability to go into:
Navigator- Who will have trees filled with nifty manuever bonuses- Lots of Dodge and Speed type things.
Fighter Pilot- Attack and Def. bonuses- Plus Certs for the most elite ships.
and of cours Ship Engineer will be based off Artisan (Master?) but I would imagine they would need extensive supplies from Weapon Smiths and Droid Engineers- I would say Armorsmiths but metal for helmets and Metal for Hulls are completely different (IMHO) but you never know.

I don't think there will be a pilot profession. Fromt he previews the ship will be flow using "twitch" based controls. That's right, as in get out joysticks and prepare to do some actual dosgfighter rather than just clicking "attack" on a radial menu.

I'm betting one of the four professions will have something to do with the Space Expansion, such as Shipbuilder, and the other three will be more ground-pounders, as it were.
Something useful, immersive, and important to the Star Wars Galaxy.
Y'know, like Doctor. Except for that annoying little scene where the only shown doctor in Star Wars was a Droid... But, we already know that droids equal imabalance.
Looking over the current list of Star Wars profession, I can honestly say the four new professions could be anything at all.
...
I'm so bitter.
