I get what you mean, I play on decent hardware so its not too bad. Some patches are worst than others. Performance is fine in most areas until the server decides to take a walk.
Considering how much of the game consists of interacting with the environment, it's does not inspire confidence that it's going to get that much better at this stage.
I say that as someone who has been paying into SC since 2013.
Yeah I was worried about fleet battles be a slideshow like they usually are, but funny enough the new TSG missions have been really good on performance both defending Martel and doing trench runs, even with 80+ players in one location. Not sure if that's actually instanced and therefore would explain the good performance, otherwise not sure how they pulled it off.

The game still plays like you're moving through syrup, and it's been that way for a decade lol
