* Try and get a hold of Tiadong arms (Tiadong anything is pretty sweet early on). Slap them together with spare parts (or on a mech of your choice) and train with them until everyone has learned Eject Punch. Now you can eject enemy pilots with one character and have another character move and eject into the newly empty mech. This works because the enemy won't try to steal your empty mechs until much later in the game. Now you can kill the pilot with their own wanzers and keep or sell the parts after battle. This skill works even if you don't have anything equipped in the arm (Hardblow), so learn/equip it more than once or just make sure activation is high (certain backpacks become available that help with this). The sky's the limit! No really, the only thing you can't get into are helicopters.

* Lots of good advice has been given, but I'd like to add that you shouldn't be afraid to dump AP into accuracy and evasion upgrades. Let your missle unit be a slug and only bother with accuracy. The Salvo skill is also hilarious fun, if only to watch it pick some poor bastard apart. Your gunners will end up gaining retarded amounts of experience due to all the arms and legs they'll be destroying.

* I didn't find the Anti-P/F/I upgrades very useful without knowing what I was going up against beforehand. Mix parts too! You may want to choose high durability on shields over damage reduction. Equip the shield on a beefy arm with full HP upgrades. Put missiles and rifles on arms with high accuracy bonuses and pump AP into the accuracy upgrades you buy for it. Doing this with other weapon types is a personal choice. High accuracy arms tend to have little else going for them and your front line is obviously going to take more fire.
