I played ED for over a year (late Beta backer) and enyojed myself massively.
I own most of the ships, some severalfold. I could easily afford an Anaconda (credit-wise), but abstained due to a lack of interest. I rank 'elite' in combat and close to it in trading. I am not writing this to boast, but to point out that I invested quite a bit of time into this game.
Early this year, I did hit the "wall of repletion" and decided to stop playing. Don't get me wrong, this is not an "ED is boring" post. I don't blame the game; I had a blast during this year! However, this is something that happens to almost every game and the best thing to do is giving it a rest for a while. And while I already feel this "space itch" again, I want to wait until my Oculus Rift CV1 has arrived and ED is working with it (I have strong confidence in FD, that they will pull this through).
In order to get the "full VR experience", I decided to start from the zero-point: a Sidewinder and 1000 credits.
My reasoning is, that this will refresh my curiosity about every new ship. "How will it feel in VR? - I have to earn enough cash and reputation to get access!"
On the other hand, I am a little bit frightened about this step! There is no going back!
Will the fascination of the "first playthrough" that carried me over some (admittedly existent) lean periods kick in again?
Will I look back on all I had achieved and feel repulsed by the fact that I have to do it again?
Will I which I still had all the rare materials I gathered in light-year long expeditions to be prepared for the engineers needs?
Will I sit in my DBS when I face my first Thargoid cruiser, whishing back my FAS or A-rated Python?

So, here is my question (sorry for the long preface):
Those of you who reached an advanced state of the game (regarding ranking, reputation, credits, ships,...) after month and month of playing and did reset their commander - how did this decision turn out for you?
Did you ever regret your decision? If you did - could you overcome the frustration or did "the mountain" discourage you, as you now knew its real hight?
Or did the reset refresh your enjoyment of the game, just as you hoped?
Was it a decision you will happily repeat, if you will ever have the feeling of "lacking goals" and oversaturation again?

Sorry, if this all sounds pointless to you... I never played a MMORPG before. I never had to decide, whether or not to get rid of a long-term-character in e.g. WoW (not that this would be needed - as far as I know, creating a second character is no problem there).
I simply want to learn more about other peoples experience with this decision.
