I have no memory for quotations normally, but I recall one famous fighter pilot once saying.

"Get in quickly, shoot down your enemy, get out quickly, everything else is Rubbish."

The point of the game is to shoot down the other guy. One on one, I want to shoot down the other guy, in multiplayer, I don't care who shoots down the other guy as long as he DOES get shot down.

I am playing the game to win of course, but in the multi player games I don't REALLY care if I have the most points or not, the team win is what is important to me.
That said, I do think it would be a good idea to adjust the way victory points are given in team games. All of the members of the winning side should get a victory point and perhaps the top player on that side could get an extra point.
