Lot of space questions and answers in this one. There's a complete log on the smuggler forum here, but here are some of the highlights for space:
No timetable on any of this, of course, but there's some pretty good news in there.
- The Y-8 will eventually have two more forward turrets
- The "answering weak" problem that prevents pilots from getting quest ships is definitely a bug and is being looked into
- They'll be taking a look at balance on the new fighters
- They're working on a toggle for the red/blue boxes in space for a future publish
- There aren't any plans to change the Reb/Imp requirement for the ARC and Eta-2
No timetable on any of this, of course, but there's some pretty good news in there.

I just want it said publically.

I know the main reason devs acknowledged these bugs and are working on fixes is because of your hard work tracking them and reporting on them.
The only new big one that didn't get asked and answered was the Inspiration buff bug, but I'm sure that's on their list too.
Also kudos to the dedicated pilot who asked the great questions during the chat.

But what does the freelancers get? Greater maneuvrability on the YT? Or a pilot controlled gun?

The whole balance thing scares me....I've seen how SOE "balances" things before...I'm very, very scared.

Some very good news there.
I guess my ARC 170 deed is still only good as a paperweight, but I'd rather have the Y-8 fixed first anyway....

Hmm, the two extra turrets interest me, this'd make the Y-8 have hands down the most firepower of ANY PoB ship ever. Now if they doubled or quadrupled the amount of resource you get per rock, it may actually be more profitable.

It bears mentioning that the Darth_Platypus said that he's looking at ship balance overall. That may mean that the new ships get toned down, or (as was his stated preference) older ships might be getting a boost.

I would hope older ships get a boost instead of new ships getting toned down, perhaps allowing the bwing to handle better. I guess I am always a boost up others instead of nerf.

A4 turret Y-8? Now that would be a gunship! 
If only it didn't have that goofy fin sticking down giving it the target profile of a skyscraper.
