Basically, going through the prologue does the following. You have your first mission (where you select your "starter" Warframe and play through that level with it (Excalibur, Mag, or Volt), and that level is a tutorial teaching you how to use your three weapons, do wall runs, slides, etc.  Much better story than was originally in the game.  You then get your ship (which is your new hub when playing) and then must play through about five levels to restore all of it's functionality (e.g., access to the Market, Foundry, Mods, Arsenal).  You can't use these features until you beat the levels where the component parts are.  You WILL have all your mods, weapons, frames, EVERYTHING, you just can't access all of it at first.  When you first enter the ship after the tutorial mission, you will be in whatever Warframe you were in last time you played with all your equipment and color scheme intact.  So all that happens is that you have to get the ship pieces to access the game functions. The levels are really easy, even if you've only put like four hours into the game, they're all level 1-2 with the exception of the end mission (kill Vor) which is 2-4. Worth playing through for a better involvement in the plot, and it doesn't take that long. The only "progress" change I noticed is that I don't have access to some planets I did, as I believe specific nav coordinates now drop from bosses or are awarded after an assassination, but I haven't confirmed that yet.

Recap - you keep all your stuff, you just need to beat a few levels to be able to freely change out equipment, mods, frames, etc, and your planet selection might be affected. Worth it anyway, this game is all about shooting all the things all the time anyway, right?
