Finally decided to play this again , loaded up a game of HUD-free Starfighter Onslaught.
I can't believe how much I suck.
All my mods are broken with the Capital Supremacy patch, I can only run my lighting overhaul mod which is a pretty big improvement. None of my mods that fix the characters or lightsabers/blaster effects are up to date and I'm CTD'ing with them active.
I think I still prefer the 2015 game overall but there's a lot of fun here too.
