Manufactured by Reys-McLees Corporation, Mako-class light corvette is the weakest ship that exists in UNSC Navy.
However, it is not as useless with its 4 torpedo launchers at each side for long range support.
With its cheap cost, it is very easy to mass produc and requires no turret system upgrades.
If there is a way to mass produce torpedoes, or just have alot of torpedoes at hand, this ship could make a fine escort ship for the convoy or mining missions. With its 30.6 second hyperspace recharge, it could be used as low cost scout as well.

Though, due to small size, their engine could not operate as well as other ships. With almost no turrets but heavily relying on torpedoes as a fire power, once they are out of torpedoes, they become a target practice.

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.

P.S. I found that having M58 Archer misslies as turrets are dumb since it also takes up turret slots as well I didn't like the way it fired. Torpedo launchers rules!!
