1) Lots and lots and lots and lots of tramp freighters including but not limited to the YT-2000.
2) Uglies. And a "do it yourself" approach to making them from scrapyard bits!
3) NO player owned capitol scale ships... but I would put up with low-level player controlled positions on those ships (gunners,sensor operators, etc)

Assault Gunboat
Skipray Blastboat
Star Viper
YT-2000
YT-2400
Lambda Class Shuttle
Firespray Patrol Craft (which comes relatively plain off the line)
Naboo N-1 Starfighter - If the Z-95 is still in use, as ancient as it is, a top-of-the-line old craft should be a rarity, but not unusable, and definately a possibility.)
Jedi Starfighter (as more of a novelty item, nothing overpowering about it at all) As mass-produced as they were, surely some schematics remain being circles through the black markets. The flagrant accusations of 'jedi lapdogs' wanting this in is kinda starting to get irritating, as if it were implemented properly it would do nothing but add more variety to the ship selection, without being overpowered. (Ie. It'd probably have stats like an A-Wing - light armor, good speed,.)

The NSF is older than the Ywing. i dont know about you, but i wouldnt want to fly in a ship thats no longer produced.
in the new DVD version on episode 4, lucas has added a the N-1 naboo starfighter as a old, batterd ship in the battle of yavin. the rebel's are ment to be a rebellion fighting back against the empire, they dont have much funding so fly whatever they can.this shipmay not be produced no more but there still will be plenty in the galaxy.

Immediately after launch I'd like to see more Neutral/All Faction fighters, maybe 1 or 2 new faction fighters(granted this may be difficult), and a moves towards Capital Ships. So we're talking about vessels that aren't fighters, but aren't Capital ships either, like Assault Transports.
Later,

I don't think the larger rebel mon cal cruisers or any star destroyers should be available to players, but I would like see the lighter capital ships available to own. I am talking about dreadnoghts, carrack cruisers, frigates, the lighter mon cal cruiser, and possibly a weak small variant of the victory star destoryer *pushes nerd glasses up*

We cant be totally sure that the Bwing wont come out with JTL. sadly breaking any minor thread to the timeline that may remain.

JEDI LAPDOG!!! i would devote myself to hunt down any jedi starfighters i ever saw.
Yet I recall flying the N-1 during the Battle of Endor in Rebel Strike and Rogue Leader. I also recall flying the Jedi Starfighter during that battle. Also, if the B-Wing doesn't come out, the Rebs are left with three ships if you don't count the Z-95. The Imps are just gonna get plenty of ships...besides, the B-Wing is already in one screenshot but is either not finished or they will reveal it later. Either way, I say screw continuity so we can get some cool ships in the game. If we follow continuity for everything we would all be stuck on Tatooine with the onlyweapons being the E11 Carbine and the DL-44to choose from. Oh, we would all be Marksmen too. Trust me, that game would suck horribly!

yes, butboth of thoseships was an unlockable (passworded) secret ship. (except for the ONElevel where you crash onthe planet and use Obi-wans ship.you werent suppoesd to getthem as main ships. I can also fly in a **edit**ing car. so should we be able to fly in a car for JTL. no.
and about the new DVDspecial edition, i dont care. i saw the originals. those are what i base my ideas on. Lucas just added them some people know what side Naboo is on. Since the new versions dont have the Ewok vicotry song, theyre worthless.

I agree wholeheartedly! Bring on the HT-2200 and the YT-2000! And the X-Interceptor is just too cool 
3) NO player owned capitol scale ships... but I would put up with low-level player controlled positions on those ships (gunners,sensor operators, etc)
Here... eh, I kinda agree. The problem I can foresee with cap ships largely has to deal with the game type: a persistant world MMO. That "persistant world" thing is the sticky bit... do cap ships stay in a given area? What happens during off-peak hours? How do you keep players interested in being a gunner on a ship that travelsa set courseand might or might not be attacked at any given time?
On the other hand, give a guildtheir owncap ship and inevitably they will park it in close orbit around a station of the opposing faction. And then the rivalry over the captaincy, two knives and up the mast, that kind of thing. And real life issues causeing people to afk or lose connection...
I do not envy the Devs the challenges of making player-run cap ships at all.

Whilst i totally understand why we cant have capitol ships i would certainly like to see larger ships, i mean i like the yt1300 and all but its only got two rooms id like to see medium sized craft that have yknow 6 or 7 rooms kinda like a pa hall in terms of size.

For the record YT-1300's have several rooms.
Anyhow, I'd like to see a medium-large freighter like Bossks in the EU. Smugglers and Pirates don't always want super fast fighting machines. They want heavily armored transports with light armament. Speed and armor would count, as well as hidden 'surprise' weapons for a smuggler.
It's fighters that want speed, lots of armaments, maneuverability and all that good **edit**e.
Smugglers don't want that, at least, not for thier smuggling vessels.
