I fear no pirates!
Minning would be nice too. Maybe allow access to other resources not present on planets, and also provide more access to rare resources much more frequently, but at very low concentrations and/or much smaller collection rates.
I wouldnt like to see the current Harvester model, but maybe a new way to mine. Perhaps a normal park and wait model. We could be provide special mobile minning equipment that just requires us to hang around. You'd have to be really patient, on your toes to defend against enemy ships and stationary alongside an astroid to mine.

u no what would be sweet. if u had an entire crew on a huge freigter then an attack comes upon you and you can take ur Xwing or interceptor out and fly out a docking bay thatd be sweet

I dont want us freighter pilots forgotten. The YT-1300 is not a bad ship, buts its just a light freighter, I'd like to see good medium freighter at release also.
A light freighter shouldnt be the best freighter we get. Im hoping for the ability to have a 50, 75 or even a 100m freighter for master privateer.

I'd like the game to be like in the movies.....LOL. but we now how continuity happens in galaxies. lol. Like, in episode 2 in the beginning, they showships exiting and entering coruscants atmoshphere. I want to see that. Just alot of NPC freighters and random things just fly around.

That depends on whether you think these ships need to be operable by players or not.
My belief is that a bunch of the ships you named will be in JtL... as NPC ships. We won't be able to fly those ships, but we still get the impression that someone is flying them. So the galaxywon't befull of the same 15 or so ship types.
So the question is, is it immersiveness that matters? Or something else?

You can already do 'delivery' missions on the ground... it'd be cool to do them in a frieghter in space.
Harder the mission, the more illegal the cargo for smugglers, or the more player buddies in fighters you'd
need to fly escort for every one else.
