Squid = 0g

Helmic:
And don't forget how everyone somehow survives a ship falling to the ground.  Yeah, the ship might magically keep together but it's like an elevator whose cable just snapped, everyone inside is going to go splat just the same.

Connor Mc.:
Also going high speeds that high up in the air would be
1.Freezing Cold
2.Your ears would always be popping .-.
3.So windy you couldn't hear each other speak (Personal experience, you'll know if you've ever been on a boat before)

but it is of course, a game, so, I'll shut up now

Keon:
But is okay, because we can train astronauts there.

Ofiach:
Hey now we gave up on balloon technology because of a slight explosion that might have involved the Hindenburg. Balloons can actually be more efficient than a jumbo jet when you're talking about fuel consumption and sustainability. Some pioneering companies have actually started re-exploring balloons for transatlantic flights.

As to the chute vent forcing the squid down faster than gravity..... Here comes some serious rationalization gymnastics.

The balloon is maintained by a type of generator that is constantly chugging away, so when you activate chute vent it sends this generator into overdrive and the air is forced straight out the top of the balloon.
OR
When you use chute vent something constricts the balloon and forces all the air/gas out of the balloon causing extra thrust in the downward direction.
OR
A combination of the two.
