I feel bad that I had to take a Squid to a VIP.
No one else would captain, and I will be the absolute first to admit: I am an AWFUL captain. I am, however, good at manuevers, and that was the only way I didn't simply throw the match.
I hated myself for doing it, but it was the only option. My ally would refuse to switch (Honestly, I don't really think I should have switched with him as he was being a troll the entire time), and the only, ONLY reason our team managed to win was because he rage-quitted and a much more competent captain joined.
I have completely forgotten the Goldie captain on the enemy team, but I do remember Xedeon claiming that he was one of the best with a Hwatcha, something I felt all too painfully. However, three engineers kept us (read, me) from completely throwing the match. I know the pain of chasing the squid, and I can certainly agree with the above: Fix VIP.
Having a squid simply sprint around the map teehee'ing with the Tar and squeezing through gaps other ships simply can't follow. Adding in the one point on Escorts is the easiest way of doing it, but I would say increase the point cap for the number of ships in the lobby. A 4v4 shouldn't be as quick as a 2v2, despite VIP taking more time than any of the other matches as it is. I know I'm probaby the least experience here to comment, but having it locked to 10 or 15 in a 4v4 might make it a little too fast. Just my opinion, and I'm probably going to be keelhauled for it, but as it may be.
Just my experience from it, and kind of an apology. I fully admit to cowardice in the line of duty.
