Poor Squid

Mostly I think its just the mindset of the players. Having said that I would be happy giving the squid a buff to its perma-hull.

My standard kill squid is F:Gat S:Banshee A:Merc, but I have had the most success as a armor stripping support F:Gat S:Gat A:Artemis. Where F=Front, S=Starboard, A=Aft. Two gats will pulp armor pretty quickly and start tearing off engines and guns leaving a fat juicy target for my ally to finish. Alternately once they are stripped I can turn to finish with the rear.
I like putting a long range gun on the back of the squid to support my ally if they decide to play the sniper game. Since two of my crew will be out of action during this phase, I normally have one bring a buff kit so that the long range gun can output more damage.

I saw some of the [PLRS] guys the other day running a Merc, Mortar squid and cleaning up with it. I guess the strategy is to come in from far off with the merc and then put the side on them. It was super badass, but I can't get it to work my self.My pal SlicedAndDiced had it going a few times, but it's pretty difficult, and seems way to impractical for any sort of competitive match
Ruairi:
The problem the squid faces is it's very easily countered and over powered. If it can't disable you by the time you get your gun arcs on it, then it's in trouble. The other problem is that it's skill requirement is very high for the entire crew not just the pilot. Even if you use hit and run tactics, the chances of your ally also making it out are fairly slim. Basically put, name something the squid can do that another ship can't do better that will contribute positively to winning? :S

Bait enemies quickly to distract them and allow your ally to ambush kill them while providing support.
Sneak up on an enemies blind side - stay in the blind side - and lock them down.
Block points in CP by zerg rushing.
