Damp or forward accel/deaccel?

Whats the difference? It looks like, according to the Wiki, that they are the same thing, only damp is smooshed into one.

The accel/decel values say  how long it takes the ship to get to/decelerate from top speed in absolute numbers, dampening makes your controls mushy and adds more of a sliding effect.

damp is more about aoa than actual velocity. essentially how long it takes for your velocity vector to alignt to forward. rot damp is the time it takes for your actual angular velocity to get up to the desired angular velocity.
I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.
