New Maulus pilots should read the [[Electronic warfare#EWAR | New Maulus pilots should read the [[Electronic warfare#EWAR tactics|tactics section]] of the EWAR article, and attend an [[EWAR (CORE class)]]; these will provide some details on how to fly EWAR frigates. Specific tips on flying the Maulus: | ||
* '''Warp into an engagement after your fleetmates.''' If you land on grid with the main fleet, you give your opponents early warning that they will have to deal with EWAR. A better strategy is to warp in after your opponents have already committed to focusing on your fleet’s tankier damage dealers. | * '''Warp into an engagement after your fleetmates.'''

* '''If you get into trouble, warp away.''' Once your damps start to take effect, your opponents will respond by sending an interceptor or some drones after you. The Maulus is too slow to outrun any of these threats, and too fragile to survive them (even if you are fitted for tank). If danger comes your way, warp out, and warp back in again somewhere else. | * '''If you get into trouble, warp away.'''

:”But wait,” you may ask, “what impact can my damps have if I just have to run at the first sign of danger?” EWAR only represents half of the Maulus’s threat to opposing fleets. Just as important is distracting opponents from their strategic goals—making it so that, instead of following the plan that their fleet composition was built around, opponents must commit resources to deal with a pesky Maulus pilot. | : ”But wait,” you may ask, “what impact can my damps have if I just have to run at the first sign of danger?” EWAR only represents half of the Maulus’s threat to opposing fleets.
