THEORY: How Ships MIGHT work...
Ok, obviously this is all theory. I have absolutely nothing that makes me feel confident this is HOW ships will work. BUT, I had this thought the other day and figured I'd share it.
1) How to GET ships. What if ships were linked to character shards. Think of it as a way to 8* a character. You want to get Slave 1, you use Boba shards. This could either be a requirement that the toon is already 7*, or a choice between promoting a toon and unlocking their ship. Though my guess is that the toon would at least need to be unlocked in order to obtain their ship.
2) How we USE ships. So, we just unlocked Slave 1. Now it's time to head into a ship/space battle (located to the right of GW). These battles will have the ship filling the 6th spot of your team. And since (in my theory) you need the toon associated with the ship to unlock it, this will also lock that toon into the group. Probably the leader (now PILOT) spot. The ship will give a bonus to that toon, and possibly other toons depending on the affiliation. So Boba's ship may give him a chance to gain stealth each turn, and apply a smaller chance to grant stealth to other scoundrels as an example. (I'm saying stealth based on the Slave1 hiding to follow the Falcon in ESB, but obviously could be anything).
So, what about ships that are not directly tied to a single specific toon? Say, a Jedi Starship for example. In this theory, any jedi shards could be used to unlock that ship. And the Pilot spot could be filled by any Jedi when in use. Similarly, a classic X-wing could be unlocked and piloted by Biggs OR Wedge and a Resistance X-wing by Poe or RP.
That's it. Not saying that it would be a good OR bad idea. Who knows how this will all shake out. Happy grinding everyone.

You unlock gear for your characters by riding/racing.
Dengar had a ship called Punishing One I believe, Uganught could have a cloud car (since the cloud guys aren't in the game as playable toons) Old Ben could have a ship too I'm sure. My point isn't to shoot you down, but show there are ships that could be put to each toon. Or like OP said, if a ship like the Jedi Fighter is unlocked, any Jedi could pilot it. Plus its Star Wars, with the massive lore to draw from there has to be a ship for each and every toon to call their own.
lol if it uses cantina energy then im out. Cantina shop, Mods and if the ships cost orange flashes aswell...then im quiting this game...
2) How we USE ships : Crystal Refreshs. The creditcard need some work.
