You don't understand Maelstrom.
The Bounty Hunter capital ships 'evolve' with each addition, much like their snub line. Adding this between the Bullhead and the Mako leaves the same impression like parking your SUV between two Ferrari's.
Point is, it does not fit. The BHG ships are taller than they are wide, the opposite of this ship. It does not look like a Light Battleship, and they hardly need a Light Battleship anyway.
And in what way does the current Mako suck? I didn't quite catch that. Model-wise or Stat-wise ?
