Summary
The Maulus is the Gallente 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 Gallente Frigate I and Sensor Linking I. As a result, new Unistas can have an immediate, significant impact on fleet engagements by flying the Maulus. The Maulus 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. For this reason, many Maulus pilots omit weapons from their fits entirely.

Tactics
Choosing to fly a Maulus means a real dedication to electronic warfare in a PvP fleet. Damping the sensors of enemy ships is as or more effective than mitigating damage. Being able to tank incoming fire is never as effective as not taking any because the enemy simply can't lock on target!
The real power of Sensor Damps comes in fleet fights. Typically enemy logistics ships will be "at range" away from the fight so that your fleet cannot shoot at them. Applying Sensor Damps with Targeting Range scripts to those logi ships forces them to stay closer to the fight so that they can lock their fleetmates. Range Dampening other enemy ewar (like Blackbirds) is also highly effective, as they will usually be at range too. Scan Resolution scripts are great for Scan Res dampening enemy logi that are in close to the fight. These are usually very tanky ships (like Guardians), and Scan Res damps will slow the speed at which they can lock their fleetmates to rep them, giving your fleet a significant edge.
In a fleet don't try to fly solo. Try to remain close to your logi and damp out of the enemy. Keep your distance from the enemy! If you start seeing yellow boxes on your overview, align out. If they turn red, warp off and come back to the fight at range.
