Your pilot name doesn’t impact Armored Core 6 in any way. It simply allows you to express yourself.

When you play PvP, you can have your teammates and opponents read your online ID or your pilot name. To change this, select “Display System Menu” from the garage, select “Network Settings,” and change “Display Player Names” to pilot name or online ID.

And that is how you change your pilot name in Armored Core 6. It’s not too difficult and you can change it immediately after finishing the first mission. What is hard is knowing what the best OS Tuning upgrades are in Armored Core 6. Luckily, we have a guide to help you out.
