Corrupted Base
Tier 13 Dreadnought Hull: Bonesaw
The Bonesaw is initially equipped with 16 weapon slots, 4 armor slots, and 6 special slots. 2 additional weapon slots unlock at E3, and another 2 at E7. 2 additional armor slots unlock at E4, and another 2 at E9. 3 CiC slots unlock at E1, E6, and E10. In addition, the Bonesaw includes 3 of the all-new Officer Slots; the first of which may equip a powerful Captain. These slots unlock at E2, E5, and E9.
The Bonesaw’s main weapon, the Teethtaker Chaingun, fires at short-medium range, dealing Ballistic damage. The Chainguns are accuracy based.
Using the Built-in Death’s Approach:
The Bonesaw has a built-in Chaingun called Death’s Approach that fires a wealthy amount of damage to its enemies with a chance to drop a debuffing field that reduces it Ballistic as well as Radioactive damage.

Glossary
Range definitions are relative to the primary season hull. Thus what is short for one hull might be considered medium for another, the goal is to convey easily to players which turrets/ships they can outrange and which turrets/ships may be firing on you from a considerable distance away.
- Very Short = Easily out-ranged.
- Short = Out-rangeable.
- Medium = At least the same range as the player but generally not much more.
- High = Will easily outrange the player hull.
- Very High = Will cover a significant portion of the target.
If the arc is not specified then it has a 360 degree arc.
