Though they've both been out of the game for a while now, my memories of playing against them in RAFT vs Paddling games still represent the most intense, challenging, and fun experiences I ever had in competitive Icarus, and managing to beat the Paddling in Cogs S2 is the accomplishment of which I am most proud, perhaps even beyond my time with the Mandarins. The sheer coordination and accuracy of the Lucky Duck's long range fire was truly a thing of terror, the equal of which I never again experienced after the Paddling's retirement. Squash and Smollett were, in my opinion, the greatest strategic minds Icarus has seen, and the Paddling was its first and likely best uber-team. They deserve to be mentioned here.

Until The dancing feather and the corkscrew came in to wreck mama duck and baby duck. Good times.

Teh Celery's:
I could talk all day about how I would fly on a ship with a SAC member as captain, any day of the week. I started idolizing Cactus, Lambert, and Tropo's piloting skills since my early days of GoIO (main reason why I was personally invested in trying to join their ranks).
However, I'll leave that biased opinion out of this list:
Spud Nick scares the balls off of me. Seriously. Unless I have a lobby of skilled players on my team, I rarely stick around X_X
Jub Jub is one of my favorite pilots to try to test my skills against (I usually lose, though lol)
actually, a handful of pilots from SPQR really make me feel like I'm back in my Novice days. Very humbling learning experiences.
LeMoon is very high up there on my list of pilots that I always flock to be on their ship. Always a fun pilot.
Mr. Trickery is always a delightful pilot to fly under.
Rucin is new to the game, and is on my list because they are doing an excellent job of learning the ropes. Really putting in an effort to support gun-arcs and stay away from Galleon broadsides xD
Same goes to FreedomSoul.
I will leave a lot of matches or ships if the captain seems extremely uneducated on game mechanics, but I'll jump on those two Pilot's ships in a heartbeat.
I love new pilots that show potential. It's like watching the next generation of 45's that get tossed on this list, while they are still growing and learning and getting better. Almost like reading a really good book, and watching the plot start to unfold and take shape... That's a learning experience for me, all on it's own. Very magnificent, in my opinion.
EDIT: Derpy Squid is my favorite co-pilot for casual gameplay. He's very inexperienced with it, and has this sort of, timid piloting style. It literally brings out the best in me. My brain registers the match as "if I don't carry, and IDDQD myself into godmode, we will lose." He isn't terribad or anything, but something just clicks, and I suddenly learn how to pilot, and we do an amazing job staying together and bringing the pain.
One of my personal favorites to fly under, as well. Calm, perceptive, and eager to fly moar good.
Crafeksterty:
Garsh darn it! Im not so trendy atm because of my lack of secure net.
But thanks for the mentions!!!
I like lueosis piloting, i want to see him not fly a pyra though. CUS I KNOW YOU CAN DO CRAZY SHIT MAAAN.
Skrim was always an inspiration being beside him constantly.
Im not aware of who can fly a proper squid or not, but anyone willing to take their time on the squid is top on my books. Fiasco, i know you can actualy do it
Kamoba:
Lueosi recently I had the privilege of Leuosi joining a match on our team after our ally deserted us, he joined a game where we was 2v1 for about five minutes on someone else's squid, not his loadout, and within moments takes out the one giving us ranged harassment, the. Together we take out the one close guns!
Keeping in mind how exhausted we all were from survival fighting for five minutes it was a truly epic moment to be saved by such a renowned player! Finishing score 5-0!
Second match we was pitted against our saviour, he had a competent ally now and we had a metamidion that lacked in the shooting department, things were looking bad! We honestly thought we were done for! So we took Hades Artemis and kept our attention to threats and defending ally... All I can say is I have never seen a squid flown so tactically, but we gave them what for! :) truly an exhuasting but rewarding game! May fair winds meet this man and his crew in the future!
