Even though re-balancing is going on right now, and it could all completely change in the near future, your best bet out of those three IMO would be Fixer.

Depends a lot, and I mean, a *lot* on what level range you want to play.

Wondering mostly endgame pvp and early game.
When I played it years back I remember doc's and traders being OP, traders cause of the drains. They still hardcore drainers etc? Or just easy pray

From level 1 to 29, nothing comes close from traders.
You can have fun with several other prof, including Doc, but you ll die to a trader that knows how to play.

At 30+ , with the first NR perk, enfo and agent start to rival with traders

At low TL3, traders/enfo/MPs are probably the top 3, followed by agents and solds.

At high TL3, agents start to shine nicely. and NTs start to raise.

At TL4, top 4 is still traders/agent/enfo/MP (in no particular order) and solds and NT are quite nice.

Low TL5 (150 to 164) is pretty open

165+, I m not sure, but it seems to me NTs / Agents / Enfos are top trio

TL7.. I dont really know about that, sorry :)

I have a 164 fixers, they are very fun to play. Probably not far from the top trio, but not in.

They seems to be not bad at TL7 though, but like I said, I dont PvP at TL7 much.

Traders are very good from TL1 to TL5.

They seems to loose powers at higher level, but they, imho, stay in the middle of the pack.

Do I get the AI lvls etc automaticly when I upgrade from a free account? Or do I have to make a new char and start over to get those lvls

You don't have to start over, you just have to start doing AI daily missions or spending time in the alien sectors. Alien levels are gained with Alien XP, not normal xp.

Look through the knowledge section we have for Alien Invasion, it will give you a basic idea of where to start. The dailies are your best bet though since the sectors require teams (mostly).

Info on dailies is both under Classic AO and Alien Invasion.
