Okay so my understanding is that at JTL there will be three factions... Rebel Imperial and Privateer. Each with their own starships to choose from.
I can see this having a major conflict with smugglers. Smugglers would tend to be privateers in space. They would typically fly the types of ships which would fall under that category and certainly a Tie or X-wing would not be able to carry all their contraband (they are too small). But Smugglers are deeply involved with factions. Especially if a guild is an issue... the smugglers are designed to buy faction gear (why else would they get a discount), they can buy and sell faction points... They have been designed to be Rebel or Imperial by their very nature.
It would seem that Jump to lightspeed could potentially create a no-win situation for smugglers unless they could fly privateer ships despite their faction allegiance.
...Just a thought that occured to me.

I have been wondering also. I am a highly loyal Imperial Officer but when JTL comes out, I don't wan to fly a TIE Fighter. I want to pilot a freighter starship. Let's just hope that not all starships are faction based.

Considering that you're probably just going to keep everything in your character's inventory and not load up a cargo hold in your ship anyway before take off, you would be able to smuggle stuff just fine in a TIE or X-Wing. But there are also different varieties of the YT-1300; onefor each faction.
