Hi Enjoyincubus 
, you might want to introduce yourself in the introductions thread if you have the time. Anyway, on to your inquiry.
First off, there is an option to change the controls back to the classic button mapping in case you are wondering. The default setting is the dual analog input or Type-A controls, and can be changed by going to the Options > System > Controller > Type-B. Type-B are the default controls for Armored Core since the first game that you might find familiar.
As for your design, I am assuming you started from a new game and there's little to that can be done until you find more parts. From what's available at the beginning of the game, I recommend buying the VULTURE2 boosters, G91 generator, and the HAZEL2 radiator. If you want more speed, you can go for the GULL boosters, LOTUS generator, and the HAZEL2 radiator. Those internal combinations will carry you for the rest of the game, at least until you find the ANANDA radiator. Remember to tune your boosters for heat reduction and/or acceleration, increase output for your generators, and tune for cooling or drain for your radiators. If you have any spare cash, get the F73H FCS which is easily compatible with most weapon combinations.
As for weapons, blading has taken a serious hit in effectiveness compared to the PS1 generation of AC games. In LR they track poorly, so its much easier to use a ranged left hand weapon in most cases. I would recommend the accurate and heavy hitting CR-WHO5BP bazooka as your primary weapon and maybe a CR-WH69H for your left hand with something underneath, like another handgun or a blade if you prefer. However, I would like you to try different weapons out for yourself and see what suits your style best.
In summary I'd recommend upgrading your weapons and your internals first before going on to buy better frame parts, as they are easily accessible near the beginning of the game. The G91/VULTURE2/HAZEL2 or LOTUS/GULL/HAZEL2 will carry you for the rest of the game until you find the ANANDA to replace the HAZEL2 radiator. Frame parts and other weapons can be purchased as soon as they're available later in the game. :p
If you have any further inquiries, just let us know and we'll try to help you out.
