I would go MandalMotors Starviper as a master Privateer ship (It's a tricky ship to pilot, and it's got a lot of mass, so make it a master ship, give it the maneuverability/speed modsof an Ixiyen, and the mass of a Rihkxyrk
I would also like to see the Royal naboo Cruiser as a neutral multiperson ship.
For the Rebels, I think the K-wing would be good. The E-wing wasnt even concieved until the formation of the New Republic. So, while it would be nice, With the B-wing, and the A-wing, we're already WAY outta the timeline here. As for a Rebel multiperson ship, I think the Lambda shuttle would be good. EVERYONE used those. Imps and rebs alike. It was a workhorse of everyones fleets.
For the Imps, The TIE- Defender (I believe it was concieved shortly after the B-wing, so I'm not stepping too far off the beaten path I think) as a master fighter. Single-person.
For their multiperson, The Lambda class shuttle.
For everyone, the Skipray blastboat, at master. The skipray was a privately produced gunboat sold to planetary governments as a security and patrol vessel. Very slow, maneuverability of a slug, but had the firepower of a small capitol ship.

I was going to make a long speech about how most of these ships don't fit into the timeline of SWG, but neither do the TIE Interceptor, A-Wing, B-Wing or TIE Advanced. Not to mention: where did the TIE Agressor and Opressor come from? But, for the sake of playability I'm not going to harp on the continuity problems. So I'd like to see:
- Kyle Katarn's "Moldy Crow"
- Imperial Assult Gunboats (from the TIE Fighter game)
- The TIE Avenger (also from the TIE Fighter game) - Which is faster and more manuverable than the TIE Defender
I think a few more mult-person ships would be cool. The Gunboat lends itself well to that function as well as the Escort Class shuttle (both by Cygnus Spaceworks).
I'd also love to the Miy'til Fighter (built in the Hapan Cluster) and the Starviper by MandalMotors.

Imperial: TIE Defender - Master

I'm never getting a B-wing. Even though it doesn't go with lore the E-wing would be tight!!!!
It is like a mix between the B-wing and X-wing. The E-wing has speed, dogfighting abilities, and a payload enough to take down a ISD by it's self.

Updated with new votes again. Happy voting! Please keep trying to get links for me, too. It helps people get a better idea of what they're voting for.

I'd like to see some limited multi-passenger ships, namely...
Skipray Blastboat (Imperials)
Surronian Conqueror (Privateers) (http://galactic-voyage.com/Misc-Starfighters-Guris%20Stinger.htm)
INCOM A-24 Sleuth (Rebel) (http://deckplans.00sf.com/)
By limited, I mean that these would be more combat-oriented than the current MP ships, and thus smaller and more like a fighter. It wouldn't be much of a design stretch to give them each a pair of turrets, and they have enough guns that the pilot and copilot (Missile control, maybe?) could also take a shot at enemies.
The drawback is that these ships would be very cramped, with just the cockpit, the turret ladder, and maybe a small cargo area, but these would be the assault ships of the galaxy, meant to launch and head into the thick of a furball, and do some heavy damage.

I want the rebel assault gunboat, imperial lambda shuttle, and the YT-2300, for rebs, imps, and neuts respectively.

OK,I would love to see the Skipray Blastboats for Imps (1)
I would also likeA Corellian Action VI Transport as used by the smuggler TALON KARRDE (the Wild Karrde)(2)
BUT I WOULD KILL to be able to fly a SCIMITAR CLASS ASSAULT BOMBER: which is One of the first ships constructed under the orders of GRAND ADMIRAL THRAWN (AKA Captain Thrawn from the Emperors Retreat), it combined the best features of theTIE Interceptor, the TIE BOmber, and the and alliance starfighters to create a dedicated assault bomber. With an ion-thrust sublight engine and two interlocked repulsorlift generators, the Scimitar is a very fast, very maneuverable atmospheric craft. It carries twin racks of concussion missles beneath its wings and has two laser cannons for additional defense. *****(3)*****
