What is the distinction between TvT and dogfights again? Why did volition only re-balance dogfights and not TvT?

Shade:
TvTs are far more tactical. In dogfights, it's just a big free for all, whereas in TvT you may have teammates in different ships with different strengths/weaknesses, cooperating to get the most out of the combination they chose.

In TvT for example, if an enemy Kent is reverse-ABing and giving one person a hard time, one of his teammates could flank it and, since it is reversing and not seeing where it is going, could probably deal quite severe damage before the Kent pilot could even react. Because of nuances like this, TvT is much closer to coop play than it is to dogfights - You ARE cooperating. It just so happens that there are humans on the other side, too.

Lester:
I say leave it be for TvTs, Shade has a good point. You might want to consider nerfing it just a bit for dogfights, like decreasing the reverse afterburner speed to 100. You shouldn't take away its backwards afterburner or nerf it too much, after all, it's what most people like it for.

While you're at it, please buff the Lao Tze for dogfights  :)
