Explosive shot - Biggest waste of points!

[jg007]

Explosive shot must be one of the bigest wastes of skill points, and even worse I accidentally used two on it

sounds great when you read the description until you realise that you can only get three of them and as if that wasnt bad enough you have to be virtaully touching the enemy ship to hit it, the shot must be pure lead as no matter how I try I cant get it to go any distance

when you add to that that it takes forever to reload it is going to be practicaly useless for any purpose and I really wish I could return it and put the points onto something else

has anybody actually found it usefull??
