I would agree for all of the ships posted, they are all worthy of being included. I was looking forward to the YT-2400 and was sad when they removed it. The only thing is they would have to add it to master of all professions.
They should add faction specific ships as well, but I do think there should be a few ships that any master pilot can fly.

I'M MOST DEFINITELY SUPPORTING THE 2400
also, i'd wishfully pine for a few versions of the famous Corellian Corvette or Gunship- there are probably plenty of PAs that would love to outfit and crew one of those babys. Talk about a massive platform for role play/adventure/action. PA decides who the commanding officers are and how they put things in order and they launch and explore and do combat and relax aboard their vessel as much as they want, interacting in space as much as possible. I dunno...
I personally thought, however, that the T-Wing was a stupid invention- never liked it much myself in those other games. The LAMBDA is a must, don't remember anything about a TIE Sentinal, but there are 2 or 3 new TIES that basically make up for the Defender, right?
I'd hope, as the game progresses and they add more functionality, they add a few fighters, but add as many various freighters as possible. The available fighters are almost more than enough for me. You never see any others in the Movies past what they have now (aside from the way-out-of-left-field-absurdity that is the Jedi Starfighter, just my personal thought on it- but, really, does the prequel trilogy really have to count in this?)
Even if the devs come up with their own versions of freighters and whatnot- it would provide a much more whole experience and diverse playing field in space to see player pirates and smugglers making shipping runs across the galaxy and to, perhaps see players sent out on missions to inspect those ships as imperials or rebel players to protect player convoys or privateer players to attack player convoys/transports.
Why do we need to stick to and rely completely on the stuff we've already seen in the movies? Isn't this supposed to be a platform for us to create our own SW experience. Of course, we need the x-wing and tie fighters and bothans and humans and empire and rebellion, but outside of that- let the Devs exercise their creativity as much as possible and fly some really new and exciting stuff!
Maybe i'm askin too much or thinkin too much or wishing for something that's way further down the line, but it sounds like a lot of fun to me!!!!

Well I said it before and I'll say it again. SOE should have used the 2400 instaed of the YT-1300, because the YT-1300 was about as rare as chicken teeth during the ANH timeline. The 2400 was a much morecommon ship. Thats acording to Canon and EU Athoritative Bases.
But no SOE has this really ridiculouse fear that if a million l337 d00ds can't be Han Solo, or a Jedithen the game will fail. 
Oh..and /signed

I don't want to see the droid starship as a playable ship ever. Why? Because it is too small to house any living creature inside it, it is purely a ship with a droid brain.

Yeh, got admit the YT2400 is a pretty cool ship. You fly it in Xwing Alliance, and its alot more powerful than the YT-1300 (which you also fly)
A couple of other ships that could be added and havent been mentioned yet(dunno if they appeared in the Novels but they did appear in various Lucasarts SW games):
Imperial Missle Boat - these things had 4 Missile launchers and 1 Laser cannon, plus a SLAM system which was sort of an advanced booster.
Escort Shuttle - Unlike the Lambda designed for combat, they had 3 Forward firing lasers and a Rear Turret.
Also possible NPC only craft:
Patrol Boat - used to patrol important installations / sectors - very slow, but heavily armored, they were basically a small capitol ship with a few Turbo lasers
Carrack Light Cruiser - An Imperial Capitol ship - sorta equal to the Correllian Corvette
Also the inclusion of Interdictor (Imp)& CC-7700 Frigate (Rebel) for Master missions would be interesting (both contain Gravity well Generators that stop ships entering Hypersapce) - have to destroy them before you can leave the sector.
