Manufactured by TanSec AB, Gladius-class heavy corvette is reinforced with Titanium armor. With its fast hyperspace charges of 33.4 seconds, it can handle scouting and patrolling missions fairly well.
However, when it comes to combat, the ship can be easily outgunned by enemies as the ship lacks fire power. It was not able to do much in Human-Covenant war as well due to this fact.

Though it is only slightly better than Mako-class, Gladius-class have much more fire power and doesn't rely heavily on M58 Archer missiles. As a result, it has less capacity than Mako-class, but the ship itself gained much more engine power for much speed.


Both Mako-class and Gladius-classes are selected as the starter ships.

Mako-class has more torpedo capacity with lower crew requirements. The cost is very cheap for easy manufacture as well.
However, as a light corvette, it has less health as well as slower speed. Once the torpedo is depleted, Mako-class is very vulnerable.

Gladius-class on the other hand, has 6 turrets but only half of Mako-class torpedo capacity.
However, it is much more durable and faster. Making it better front line fighter.

In summery,

Mako-class is a long range torpedo ship with cheap price, easy to replace and low crew requirement means less loss when it is destroyed. However, it is slow and two turrets are almost useless.

Gladius-class is a short range to medium range gun ship with cheap price to replace, and again, low crew requirement. It is faster than Mako-class so it can easily come up close to enemy. However, torpedo capacity is half of Mako-class capacity, making the torpedo battle the secondary.


Reupload with Torpedo launchers instead of turret base.

P.S. My apologize, for some reason my game didn't allowed me to change the design through game so that I could've changed my original upload with minor changes. I've changed some armors into Generators so that the ship can hold 6 slot M-TCS for ingame use.
