is explosive worth it??

[Bartholomew Foulsteel]

Well, you may THINK explosive is too limited to be worth it, but that's just because you're not being creative enough.

Imagine this:

War Frigate. The four front guns are manned. All are loaded with explosive. The captain sees the target... he calls out, "Ramming Speed!" He hits his victim, causing damage! He drops sails and Immediately he calls out, "Open Fire!" Immediately after the order, all four crew members pound an explosive right into the damaged area, causing TENS OF THOUSANDS of points of damage, sinking the target ship immediately!

Yup. The Krewe does it (we call it the Ram and Slam), and it works GREAT!

EDIT: Just saw yer post Sam... right on target, mate.
