I think one of the main reason is control issue but then again if your gonna the mouse keyboard for control they should look at the freelancer game for inspiration. second i think its sill to have something as grandiose as space battles and not have raid ,heroics, and flaspoint space missions where you can team up with other players. In that case i would give the class of ships special abilities that only that class of ship can do. another option i think is needed is the ability to name your ship. I mean come on that last one should have been a given, all ships of note in the Star wars universe has its own unique name that sets it apart from other similar models; the Millennium Falcon, The Ebon Hawk, the outrider, the executioner, etc.
