==Summary==

The Maulus is the Gallente ~~EWAR frigate~~, ~~and has bonuses to~~ sensor dampening. It ~~has 4 mid~~ and ~~3 low slots~~, ~~plus a larger-than-normal drone bay~~. The Maulus ~~can be~~ fit with ~~3 damps~~ and a ~~propulsion~~ module in the ~~mids~~, with a ~~small armor~~ tank, ~~damage~~ control and ~~a speed module in~~ the ~~lows. Performance can be enhanced by using scripts~~.

The Maulus is the Gallente [[Frigates#Electronic_Warfare|Electronic Warfare Frigate]], specializing in remote sensor dampening (or “damps”). Damps are most often used to reduce the lock range of enemy targets. The Maulus is a powerful EWAR ship, especially against enemies that strike from long range. It is often seen in E-UNI fleets. For new EVE players, flying the Maulus only requires training {{sk|Gallente Frigate|I}} and {{sk|Sensor Linking|I}}. As a result, new Unistas can have an immediate, significant impact on fleet engagements by flying the Maulus. The Griffin also provides excellent training for more advanced ECM ships, like the [[Celestis]] and [[Keres]].

The Maulus is typically fit with three remote sensor dampeners in its mid slots. Unscripted, these modules affect both the lock range and lock speed of targets. Loading a dampener with a Targeting Range Dampening Script makes it twice as effective at reducing enemy lock range, but eliminates the lock speed effect; and loading a Scan Resolution Dampening Script has the opposite effect, making the module doubly effective against lock speed but ineffective against lock range. In general, the lock range effect is easier to predict and direct, so Maulus pilots usually have range scripts loaded in their dampeners. But scripts are extremely cheap, and they are not consumed by use, so pilots always carry three copies of each script. Dampeners do have the disadvantage of being the most capacitor-hungry EWAR modules, and so the Maulus is often fit to optimize capacitor—by using “Enduring” meta modules, and/or by adding capacitor rigs to the fit.

The Maulus is probably the most capable combat ship of the four Tech I EWAR frigates. It has the most hit points, can be fit with a respectable tank, and can field combat drones with a control range that matches its lock and EWAR modules ranges (if fit with drone link augmentors). Nevertheless, the Maulus still can’t win most direct engagements, and pilots should expect to warp away from incoming trouble rather than facing it head-on.
