SangrelX is scurvy dog
Max - my lips are sealed but to offer further proof

Kraken was in beta and later disabled due to issues - you dont think disney just said oh lets delete all the models, code, ai, effects, etc.. when they disabled it lol

So i can assure you the AI, Code, Models, Effects, The Kraken are still there - they just are not enabled in game

I still think Disney took it out for the following reasons
A. when Kraken Spawns in game it probably creates a bit of lag near players

B. when kraken is in game and a fair amount of ships are around it might cause lag due to the size of its models and effects

C. I would imagine they are working on its hit-detection a bit more because a model that has the ability to grab and hold another model would take a bit of work to make it look and function properly

So all in all my guess as to why it was disabled in beta and testing was due to some technical issues

I hope they have worked it out because I want to See Kraken in game that would be AWESOME!
