I just wanted to write something up for the new players to evolve because there are a lot of differences which I believe you will find to be much better in the long run but can be very confusing in the beginning.
Once you create your character you will land in ME in front of the star port, you will be given a number of items including a speeder, an ITV, and a Yacht, all which will help you on your travels. If it is your first character you will receive a lot more items. One to note will be an item that will allow you to skip your heroic pre-quests, this will save you a ton time and should be saved for whatever character you want to do heroics on, but anyone can unlock them by doing the pre quests.
Additionally, once you land you will be given an assortment of weapons. Like in Pre-cu, choose the weapon based on the skill set you would like to learn, you can change it at any time. You will gain experience in the form of both combat experience and whatever weapon you are using experience (ie. rifle experience). Equip your weapon of choice and look for the first waypoint to get your first speeder. This is the beginning of legacy which is a quest series that was introduced in NGE that would introduce you to the game mechanics and have you follow a list of quests to get started. Continue to follow these quests and gain experience.
Once you have gained a few thousand experience you can hit escape and go to your expertise tree and start to spend your experience, ideally first into the brawler or marksman skill to gain a few abilities to make killing mobs a little easier. You will need to hit esc again and go to your commands tab and equip your new skills. Also remember as you level you will sometimes get higher levels of these skills and will need to be reequipped at the higher levels as you continue to level.
Now the important part is not to progress too much, you want to stay a little ahead of the level of what you are fighting until you max out your combat experience. If you fight something too low of level you will not receive much experience for it, however completing quests will still give massive exp. Combat experience is used to purchase your combat skillsets and can be mixed and matched in any way you seem fit and as you gain the skills your level will increase. If you follow legacy and complete quests you should be able to make it to level 90 in about an hour or two. Once you do this make sure that you have equipped all your best commands/ skills and now to gear.
Once you reach level 90 you will now find yourself ill equipped but you should have some money, i would check the bazzar for a weapon of choice to get at least to a higher level to kill better mobs and gain loot. once you have a weapon you will want to head to Dearik and start "avenging Mort"quest which can be found here https://swg.fandom.com/wiki/Avenging_Mort . This will give you the Katarn Armor, once you have this you can now compete with the big boys but want to continue to progress.
I spent the next part of my time killing nightsisters for both stat loot and holocrons, the stat loot can be sold for good credits at the junk vendor but you are limited to how many items you can sell per day but you can easily get 250k credits per day
Another important not junk loot is not needed for RE, as most all of the augments are craftable.
Also don't be afraid to reach out on either discord, forums or in game, this is a very friendly server with a lot of really awesome people.
Hope this helps anyone new to the server!
