Look out, it's a wall of text!
Steal medbay's Reserve Tanks of Styptic and Silver Sulf, those bastards never use it anyways, and it's essentially ten quick burn heals and ten quick brute heals that fit in your pockets. With a little extra effort you can turn 100 units of Styptic Powder to 300 units of Synthflesh, a burn AND brute healing chem, relatively quickly.
Helping people is a quick way of making connections, even if they're non-verbal connections. Just like some people hold grudges, a lot of people will remember that time you found them dying in the hallway and decided to patch them up and take them to medbay.
If you're bad at fighting you're bad at fighting. Set yourself to disarm intent and run away if you don't wanna fight. Medbay and bar are good places to run to, as antags will frequently avoid going to big crowded areas if they're not going full-rampage mode.
If someone isn't wearing a helmet or mask the most robust thing you can do to them is choke them. Instant KO, oxygen damage over time, they can't call for help. You can use this to escape an attacker, or flat-out kill an attacker, but killing someone you're not 100% certain is out for your blood is a bad idea, and it's quite often better to run off and let sec deal with it.
Rob the shit out of anything and everything when you feel like it. Avoid robbing people directly, as that's rude, but if you want a space suit and jetpack then god damn smash the windows and bust the table and take it.
The two most robust tools around: welder and crowbar. Easily smash through windows, grilles, dismantle normal walls, open firelocks, open de-powered airlocks, along with welding doors closed, and the welder, when lit with fuel, does high amounts of burn damage and some brute.
Spend a shit ton of time as Medical Doctor. Learn how to use every single tool and medicine. You will never need a lazy good for nothing doctor again.
If you have too much oxy damage or are in cardiac arrest you can use CPR on yourself by clicking yourself with help intent. If your only issue is oxy damage you can essentially exist in a vacuum for as long as you keep CPRing yourself.
Robust-Eez is cheap and contains meth. You can put meth into hyposprays, which are essentially instant-inject syringes that can inject 30 units of something in a single injection if you set it to do so. Figure it out from there.
Be as nice as you possibly can to the cyborgs and the AI. Not only will they be more likely to open doors and containers for you, but when they inevitably gain free-will they might spare your life.
Unless someone is a total prick be nice to everyone to the best of your ability. This goes back to the whole "Help people and get connections" thing.
Flashes are a pretty powerful stun tool and are easy to get your hands on. Robotics has a shit ton of them and they don't really care if you take some. Click the flash itself to cause a blinding flash of light to all within view or click someone next to you with it to blind them and stun them. Doesn't work against those with sunglasses or welding masks.
Space will fuck you over quickly, but retreating to the cat-walks at the center of the station will help you escape almost all danger, except maybe lings and syndies.
Disposals chutes are your friends, as they're an easy way to get the hell out of wherever you are fast, just be prepared for crushers if you don't get up fast enough.
Even more effective than both of those is belt hell. Belt hell will put you in the clear if pretty much anything and everything that wants you dead. However, it's not advised to go into belt hell without internals and some sort of space suit.
This is all stuff I've learned in my 7 months playing.
