i love svs, but i'm more of a land-battle type person against NPC's. i do svs if i am bored, because you dont get much loot. it would be better if you had a chance to board other players ships.
anyways, my favorite thing to do is svs is ask the captain to drive close to the back of an enemy ship, open fire, and i will shoot explosive. i'm really good at aiming it, and one time and enemy hull was broken, the captain opened fire, and we were very close to there broad side cannons. i fired explosive, and she went down and we got 137 gold.just goes to show why i love explosive so much.
