Halo UNSC Gladius-Class Heavy Corvette [2 Slot] Starter Ship

Description
The Gladius was developed in response to the limited effectiveness of Insurrection-era designs, the Gladius is notable as it is one of the smallest UNSC vessels to possess a MAC, while not engaging in as many roles as more traditional models, is an exceptional combat ship, inflicting a disproportionate level of damage against larger opponents. This sees the Gladius deployed in low-priority escorts, patrols and interdictions. The only flaw of these vessels is their lightly-reinforced frame left them susceptible to more powerful weapons.

An update.

After playing around, an Uncommon Military turret permanent upgrade is all that is really needed for 4 offensive turrets. I use one defensive turret for the PDC on the bottom rear, and a utility turret on the bottom front slot. I usually go with a salvaging laser.

My preferred load out is 2 Bolters on the front, 2 heavy grade chainguns on the rear upper turret slots. Deals with low level pirates good enough on its own. Its still a starter ship, but good for pack hunting.

It's cheap enough at it's size to be a good outer rim escort or scout, so it's not the end of the world, but you'll never fill out all 6 turret spots without finding some places to tuck a few extra blocks of power gen, but 2 offense turrets, 2 defensive turrets, and mining turrets? Might work if you make the right batch of upgrades. Nothing that requires cargo though.

Great design, but if /anything/ it needs like an extra .2 - .5 of power generation to deal with some mid tier combat systems. Untouched, you're gonna get maybe 2-4 turrets, max, no other utility.

I know you didn't make this design, but I love it. Thank you for putting it into 2.0
