Lately, I think the Devs strategy on releasing new ships would be to release one new ship for each of the three Pilot professions at once. The YT-2400 and the YT-2000 are perfect candidates for Privateers and fit perfectly within that line. The best I can think of for Imperials is the Lambda Shuttle and perhaps the Escort Shuttle from the X-Wing series. Unfortunately, I can't recall any offhand for the Rebels. Perhaps you all know of a few that could work for the Rebels that don't seem to be perfectly Privateer aligned? I think the YT series has mainly been within the Privateer line in continuity but Privateers could still use those ships to work for the Rebels.

think this is bad. The way I see it imp and reb are the small fighters, and freelance is the big ships. If it was actually balanced would make some interesting groups for pvp

the lamda shuttles would have have to be for al factions due to everyone had them andthey were pubicly sold according to lore now for more specif faction ships would be the imp gunboat(basically a modified lamda) and for rebels the rebel gunboat and finally the castwing like in the concept picture would make an excellent gun boat for privateers.

In the X wing comic there was a cool ship called the Bantha class troop carrierassault shuttle. It was for landing ground troops primarily, but it could be adapted in JTL as a combat oriented mutliplayer ship with great foward firing ability. The nova's lack of pilot controlled weapons and dependance on a co pilot could be eliminated in the Bantha.
It has 2 gun turrets as well that are placed on the starboard and port sections of the ship instead of the top and bottom.
If the devs could actually work in a cargo moving system this ship would be great for it, as it has a very large hold.

I don't remember reading anything about any devs discussing releasing new ships. Did I miss something somewhere? Are they already planning on releasing more ships?

If they don't add new ships over time then it means death to JTL. People will get tired of the same old ships. They also need to add more things to do out in space too. That leads to the same place as not eventually adding ships. The more things to do part is much more important than new ships in my opinion.

probably. they released the krayt (my favorite ship) after privateers complained that we didn't have a master level fighter of our own. sure it's a modified kimogila but it's a great ship and it has a turret

Speeder are nor a crucial center for the ground game, we have walking running and shuttles to get around. In space you just got the limited number of ships. It would be like everyone in the ground game have a limited number of avatar options available.
