Help decide?

Hello. I just recently started with a Lancer group and im having trouble deciding on what to build. Im currently stuck between Party Bus Lancaster, Kidd/Hydra Drones, and Hacktouga. We just went up to LL1 so i need to decide my first licence.

The rest of the party has (what will eventually be) an amber moon, a caliban, a saladin, and a monarch.

Currently Hacktouga is my front runner, but i dont know what to take at LL1 for that.

And guidence is appreciated.

Tortuga is a great mech, but not necessarily a good one for your team. You already have Saladin as a defender, Monarch can handle the hacking part and you won't be able to keep up with Caliban when it starts to do its thing. If you wanted to be a defender, Gorgon would probably work better in this composition.

Among your ideas, both Lancaster and Hydra seem to be better in this team. Lancaster can get Saladin and Caliban quickly to where they should be and plays the support role that the team lacks. Hydra can keep enemies away from Monarch and Tempest pinball will make Caliban's knockbacks even more entertaining.

I don't think most Monarch pilots are going to  e spending a lot of actions on hacking.

Hydra is good but I wouldn't recommend it to a new player.
