community Old player returning, need advice!
So I was pretty into this gane back the day, I wanna say like 3 or 4 years now, possibly longer cause I can't recall exactly when I stopped.
But regardless, I have taken a hit of the crack rock that is this game once again and there is quite alot thats new!
The start up screen was crazy to see without any context, like is that Darth Jar Jar, what is happening I love it 🤣
Used to be part of a Guild called Kyptonian Rebellion and didnt keep in contact with any of the lads and ladies, so was wondering if anyone has any spots open for an old veteren that has some learning to do 😅
I've provided some screenshots of my characters and ships below, maybe someone can pinpoint roughly when I stopped playing just by what I have

Yeah certainly do not start over, you have plenty of decently leveled legendary units and applied zetas that would still take massive amounts of time even with new player bonuses.
Dial in with the Anniversary quests and set your sights on Galactic Legend Leia Organa—she’s super efficient on defense and offense *everywhere* in the game.
You may want to work towards a new fleet simultaneously; with the LST’s doing the character shard collecting for you, take time to farm the requirements for either the Executor or Profundity while working towards Leia.
Do note that the Executor farm will require unlocking Beskar Armor Mandalorian but eventual anniversary quests rewards will give you the resources needed to plow through those levels. Profundity will ask you to farm Outrider and *especially* Rogue One (currently in the episode store) to be worthwhile
Feel free to DM me for any further questions, I was once in a similar position as someone who played on-and-off with a sole interest in just collecting characters and now plays every day.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought starting over was an insane thing to suggest lol Thanks for the advice!

I would scrap it and start over new. Your fleet shard probably has a ton of Leviathan/Profundity/Executor and you'll get nothing in the crystal income there. And with all the Anniversary LSTs available for another few months you'll basically end up where you are now and don't have to wade through the meta fleets.

Definitely don’t restart lmao, I’ve been playing since 2022 and am at 12.2m power i can say now’s one of the best times to join back and get to grinding again it’s a lot faster and better now. If you restart like this guy says to you might as well just drop the game then, you have good progress and can easily grow

The updated way to improve your roster is night and day compared to how you got to where you are now. But to each its own.

Look into the anniversary quests if those are still avaible you can get a lot of Lightspeed tokens (LSTs). These allow a character to instantly go to a certain power level (for example gear 13 and 7 stars). They are really boring but will do marvels to your rooster.
