It has speed of 46m/s next fastest shis is goldfish with 32m/s. any half decent squid captain should have no problem running far enoug away from the enemy to be able to suicide safely.

Do you even fly a squid often enough? Muse screwed with it enough where it literally isn't the fastest anymore no matter what Muse spews out. I've been testing it and Goldfish or even Pyras using kerosene can keep pace with a squid using kerosene. Its insane. The squid should outrun anything easily. It should take kerosene to catch it but right now it is not. Match the other night against a goldfish using it and I literally could not outrun it even with my ship using kerosene. Heck the fish pulled away enough where it was able to get it's hwacha a firing angle on me. What the heck?!

Everyone in that match was the victim. I've already said that multiple times. I just wasn't going to put up with it so I resorted to using something I didn't plan to use until a much more dire situation.

Mattilald Anguisad:
What are you talking about? Squid is still by far the fastest ship in the game.
I still had problems, becouse I kept overshoting speeding Pyras, when I was flying Squid yesterday (yes I'm not a very good squid pilot, but I can still run away like nobody's buisness).

lyravega:
This is completely against the idea of permanent hull. It's not a trick, it is an exploit. Something in the game is abused to bypass another part of the game; suicide to bypass hull damage.

Spasmic Monkey:
I see nothing wrong with 'taricide'. If i was in a battle and somebody did it to me sure i would be annoyed but i would count it as a tactical maneuver and adapt to it. Not everyone does it and the people that do, don't do it all the time. It's not like people tar themselves every match, every time they are about to die. It's a risky maneuver, which can give an easy kill to the enemy and is only done in certain situations.

I've talked to Gilder and i respect him a lot, i think the reason he did it is just and see no reason why everyone is so butt hurt. 

I hope it stays in the game ....... just get over it

I fly squid very often and I face a lot of opponents. Its my baby and trust me...I know when its not performing like it should. It used to take captains using kerosene or moonshine to catch or even pull away from a squid without those. I know cause Brick and I used to have a lot of duels and that was the only way he'd survive against me. But I've seen Pyras keeping pace with kerosene when I'm using kerosene too. Then Goldfish pulling away with similar. Both going backwards with me going forwards. Stuff is broken. Muse is prolly too busy fixing the server problems atm but a lot needs addressing.
