I think there should be "basic" droid commands available to everyone, like take energy from shields to weapon, or from front shield to rear( and vice-versa). I don't see why rebels should be the only ones to be able to change something to their shields...
Should put the energy transfer as a basic command (with diff levels, of course), but add more faction-specific commands... Tuning the recharge rate of the shields could be reserved to rebels, if they want to, and maybe put the same for weapons for imperials... And neutral could have something with their engine, smugglers are known for their bravery in fighting 
Could also add an aim bonus, or, well, there are so many things droids can do 
They are also supposed to be able to repair a bit ships... Wich would give an advantage to rebel scum, but, heh, imperials are well-trained, and even in the case we are outnumbered, we die in battle, we do not flee like cowards So no need to repair in space

Eh, this isn't really a big problem for me. I fly just fine without having that option. I think its okay that some pilot classes have features that others don't.

get some information, any pilot from ANY faction can use ANY program, just have a pilot from another faction to program the chip for you and then trade it back. it works and it's intended to work this way, and that still beta.
I'm imp pilot and I use reactor overload (neutral program) and shield progs from rebels as well as my own imp programs.
flying a tier 4 with good weapons means that you can't fight without reactor overload program, or a 18k energy reactor.

Well... Still think everyone should have access at least to low-level commands... Or make high-end commands only available to DE ? That makes sense, you need to know something about programing to code such things on a ship
And change the droid commands to work with a "level"...
I agree that there should be different commands for every faction, but, well... Even if they don't have the same wya to fight (different "special" commands), they still use the same droids

It's a non-issue isn't it? Astromech droid commands don't even work!
What makes you think that new (basic) commandswill?

dude, it's not because you can't use em that they don't work, I'm using neutral, imperial, and rebel astromech commands since I get the game, and even in beta I used em.
