Seedless

I played this game when it first came out. I remember when it was insane when the first few people got 4th rate ships, and it was super exciting. i was hoping to get back into the game, but I got in and i was stranded across the map with only one free port as an outpost. I reset my account hoping I would keep my xp like you use to be able to, and I lost everything and now 0 xp with no ships. Is there anything that can be done about this? I was max rank before the patch came out last year where they made it easier to reach max rank, so I have put a lot of hours into this game, and I'm not about to do it all over again.
