NPC ships. Specifically, big ones:
-Mon Cal cruisers
-Imperial (more common in Core) and Victory (Outer Rim) Star Destroyers
-Lancer frigates
-Dreadnaughts now and again, of various makes and classes
-Carrack cruisers
-Interdictor cruisers. Would make for fantasic random encounters, particularly if we saw more "wild space" regions.
-Corellian corvettes. Both Alliance and neutral.
-Nebulon-B frigates. Alliance and Imperial, possibly freelancer also?
-Marauder corvettes. I *truly* want these to be PC ships as well, but that may not be terribly practical. But I'll list them there also, anyway.
PC ships. Lots of them. In addition, anything that PCs can fly should show up in NPC ship rosters as well.
-FREIGHTERS! And I'm not just talking Corellian ships, either. Some well-known examples: YT-2400, SoroSuub Quasar Fire-class bulk freighter, Corellian Engineering YV-666 light freighter, TransGalMeg Xiytiar-class transport, Incom Y-4 "Raptor" transport (and Imperial thing), and Gallofree Yards medium transport (aka Rebel Transport), among many other possibilities.
-Skipray Blastboat. All factions, though perhaps something could be worked out to where they're easier for Imperials to acquire?
-Marauder corvette. I love this ship. I want one. Prolly won't happen, but I can hope.
-StarViper. Not quite so nasty as the Virago, but they'd make a nice privateer ace ship.
-Z95's for the masses!
I had a bunch more in my mind, but they've all left me. Lando has a second ship whose class might be nice; Mara Jade eventually owns two ships--I really like the second one, but I can't remember squat about it. Talon Karrde has a handful of interesting choices. At any rate, I'm sure my point has been hammered home...

now that we know what ships will be in the game at launch i would like to know what kinda ships other people wanna see put in the game.
personaly i would like the dreadnought from the dark force riseing series but that happens to be a capital ship and need atleast 200-400 people i think.
The dreadnaught capital ships as in the Katana fleet dreadnaughts originaly required a crew of 16000 to run... Thus leading to their faliure as an effective capital ship. The ones in the Katana fleet were fitted with slave circuitry alowing them to be run on a crew of 2000 instead.
Oh and i want the tie avenger style Tie advanced, not the darth vader style we have now.

The Jade Shadow was Lando's SECOND masterwork of a ship, and it was argued that it was even better than the Falcon in pretty much every arena.
It would be nice if they could code in the Nabooian Starfighter or give "chromed" texture kits to RSF pilots after a certain level to denote their ranks.

Ship: Modified Space-CapableT-16 Skyhopper.
Faction: Rebel Alliance.
Type:2-Player Fighter and / or Novice Rebel Pilots starting starfighter.
The Skyhopper wouldnt be just for rebels, altough in the Game Rogue Leader it was used in training.
But that would be fun the fly around and "bulls eye" womp rats

Hmm......let's see
Lambda class shuttle (Mp for Imp and Privateer. yes the rebels used on in RotJ, but hey, Han was the pilot and he was def. a privateer)
more YT series freighters
Deathseeds! (Twi'lek design, TIE cockpit married to X-wing style wings, supposed to be very fast/maneuverable space superiority fighters.
only add them if you add the Twi'lek homeworld of Ryloth, though. would most likely be a privateer ship, given the generally neutral attitude of the Twi'leks as a whole)
add a capital ship for both rebel and imperial, could be a guildhall or base like in the ground game. not star destroyer or anything that big, maybe a corvette or frigate. For an idea of size, think back to the opening scene of ANH with the Corellian corvette being chased down by the star destroyer
other than this......more freighters! and more non-combat oriented ships in general, for the sake of content (this does not mean more ships like the Sorosuub "veteran reward". they can be able to defend themselves, and be attacked, just not designed or intended primarily as a combat ship)
