I've been trying to complete the game legitimately, and it is a lot harder than i remember it being with all the secret ships and upgrades turned on. No advanced shields makes the A-Wing virtually unusable, and the lack of homing capabilities in secondary weapons makes them more or less useless too.
The Battle of Endor is especially frustrating. I keep randomly crashing into TIE Fighters with a death-wish, and those Star Destroyers are cheap as hell.
Getting the Tech Upgrades just seems to magnify the difficulty of it all, given that they often put them out of the way such that not only are they hard to find, but you risk your mission finding them
Still a fun game, but damn.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
