In some of the official screenshots we can see in the background many different transports type :

Why they are not in live ? They bring some variety, the cargo transport is boring.

Yeah, space is too empty around the Corellian and Naboo sector, there should be streams of all sorts of ships flying into and out of the planet atmosphere.
And where are the Corellian Orbital Shipyards and Centre Point Station?

I would no say space is too empty, in fact I think there is too many stations in a so small space sector/cube.
What I don't understand is what they don't use models that seam to be already in .tre file (I supposed, they were in the early beta as we can see them in older screens) and why they have removed those ships ?

I'm sorry, but I'm not seeing what you are referring to. What ships are you seeing in those shots that can not be seen in Live? The only thing out of the ordinary was a holo-panel display in a YT-1300 that I don't believe we have access to - might that be part of the furnishings provided in Beta that were removed for Live?

Too many stations, yes. But commercial, military and freighter traffic (particularly in systems like Corellia) is woefully light, and sorely lacking in variety (ever notice how all the freighters in Corellia look alike, and how almost all the Hutts operating in Corellia fly Dunelizards?).
Honestly though, I wouldn't mind seeing some of the more iconic (read: EU established) oribtal things, like Corellian shipyards or (if it existed at the time?) theImperial drydock at Dathomir.

For the people who weren't in Beta, freighter traffic was cranked back to improve load times and lag issues. I'm all in favor of a wider variety of ships, but more traffic would be bad, it would come at the cost of decreased viewing distance, and that would be far worse than only seeing a few freighters at a time.

For an exemple if you look in the baground of some shots you will see civilian transports (like the one Anakin and Padmee took from Coruscant to Naboo)

The devs have hinted small capital ships are promised in the future, so logically they'd have to make the Systems a lot bigger, they should also introduce these things back into the game.

Odd, I see civilian transports all the time. After the vette and b-wings, they make the prettiest explosions.

I don't think you see AA-9 freighters like in some of those sreenshots.
