Hmm, here are a couple more tips then, though you might have seen them elsewhere before:
1)
Some items that low level characters can get are especially valuable to higher level players. These are generally low QL items that buff specific stats or skills, e.g. Concrete Pillows which buff stamina and strength, Old English Trading Co. Pistols that buff intelligence etc.
The stat buffs are very helpful when you need to meet the "to wield" requirements of higher-than-your-level equipment. This is one way how those super level 50 agents can run around with quality level 100+ sniper rifles and do uber damage.
This is especially relevant to low level characters because they can mission for low QL versions of these buffing items. Higher level characters can mission for them as well, but they can only mission for their higher QL equivalents. However, the buffing stats on the items never change with QL, only their damage and wielding requirements, and since no one wants these items for their damage dealing abilities anyway, only for the stat buffs, the best items are the lowest QL versions with the lowest wielding requirements. This is why low level characters can sell such items to high level characters for good amounts of money.
2)
You should know by now how to buy and use your profession specific nanos, but you should also be aware that you can use general nanos that are open to all professions. The mostly useful ones are the expertise / proficiency line of nanos that boost specific skills. For example, my martial artist uses the Martial Arts Expertise nano, which is a general nano. This is also helpful when you need to buff your skills up high to meet the wielding requirements of bigger weapons.
3)
Be aware of what professions can cast which buffs. If you walk around Borealis a bit, you should notice people asking for mochams or wrangles.
Mocham's Gift is a Metaphysicist only buff that boosts all nano skills. This is immensely useful for engineers who want to cast a bot much higher level than themself.
The various wrangles are trader only buffs that boost all weapon skills. This is, as above, useful to help players to meet the higher wielding requirements of bigger weapons. However, be aware that wrangles also drain the skills of the trader casting them, so it is sometimes customary to give the trader a tip for casting a wrangle on you.
4)
I chose to stay neutral for the ability to go everywhere and explore, but be aware that you're giving up a lot for this. Omnis and clanners have xp bonuses of about 10%, which really adds up. Omnis also generally have better equipment and they get more money when they sell loot to Omni NPC stores. And of course, neutrals don't get the token boards that Omnis and Clanners get. When upgraded, the token boards can give very significant bonuses.
One advantage of being neutral though is that you get to listen to all chat channels while the OTs and Clans only get their sided ones. This is especially useful when you want to buy / sell a lot with other players as you get much more market information from the various shopping channels on who wants what and what items go for what prices.
BTW, what is the name of your character anyway? I assume you are now RK2 as well?
