How can I swap all the content of my old freighter to a new one?
I think about all my storage containers, hydroponic trays, fleet command rooms (all the things which I can not teleport on the GUI).
What about all my frigates?

First findings after buying my 2nd freighter:
Many years later the manual procedure is no longer needed. provided that you update to the last game version.
Starting on the 3.5 Prisms update, freighter bases are now automatically transferred when you change your owned freighter. Notice that this does NOT include the freighter inventory content / upgrade modules.
Full info on the Prisms update available here.
For future people that hit this thread...
When you find a new freighter you want, don't buy it immediately. Go back to your star ship, launch into space, and summon your existing freighter to the vicinity. Then you can land on your existing freighter and strip it down, drop stuff in storage containers and/or your ship inventory to have enough room. Delete the storage containers last to make sure you can offload to them. Control rooms CAN be deleted and rebuilt without losing current missions.
Once your original freighter has been stripped down, then you can go over and buy the new one, transfer inventory, and rebuild all of your rooms.
I have done this twice so far, where the only built out areas left on the freighter I was giving up were the straight line path from the hanger bay to the bridge, I even zapped out the original passages.
