Unlike most electronic warfare frigates, the maulus is actually capable of dealing significant damage with blasters and light drones, however in PvP-BASIC this is generally not effective (blaster range is too short, and you will lose your drones the first time the fleet emergency warps out of a fight). When fitting a maulus for PvP-BASIC, your focus should be on maximising the effectiveness of your sensor dampeners.

==Example Hydra Maulus Setup==

Although we show the Maulus fit with railguns, you can actually fit pretty much whatever you want in your high slots. Remember your primary role is to damp the targets. If you do fit guns, be sure to carry a small amount of both short and long range ammo.

These are optional, but some of these are extremely cheap to purchase in trade hubs. Next to each rig in parentheses is the number of calibration points it requires. Maulus has 400 calibration points in total:
+
−
*Small Inverted Signal Field Projector I (200) - increases sensor dampener effectiveness, decreases shield amount
+
−
*Small Particle Dispersion Projector I (100) - increases EWAR optimal range, decreases shield amount
+
−
*Small Low Friction Nozzle Joints I (50) - improves ship's agility so you can warp out faster, decreases armor amount
+
−
*Small Auxiliary Thrusters I (100) - increases ship's max velocity, decreases armor amount
+

Due to the high calibration requirement of the sensor dampener strength rig, fitting 2 of it will leave you unable to fit a 3rd rig, although this will give you the highest possible dampener effectiveness.

General Info

  • Bonuses: 7.5% bonus to Remote Sensor Dampener effectiveness and 10% reduction to Remote Sensor Dampeners' capacitor need.

The Maulus is an excellent electronic warfare platform. With it's bonus to sensor dampeners, many ships will be dead before they can establish a target lock. When fitting a Maulus, remember that you are not a DPS ship, your fits should focus on maximizing your dampening ability.

Remember to bring both types of scripts as you may be directed to change them by the FC or EWO.

Although we show the Maulus fit with railguns, you can actually fit pretty much whatever you want in your high slots. Remember your primary role is to damp the targets. If you do fit guns, be sure to carry a small amount of both short and long range ammo.

This is a suggested T1 fit; it does require Electronics Upgrades I. With the afterburner and guns not running, this fit is cap stable. With this fit, you can target at 83km and your tracking disruptors will have an optimal range of 66km plus 60km falloff, assuming just the base recommended skills.

Alumni are welcome to drop the afterburner for a microwarpdrive, although you will lose cap stability (cap will last around 2.5 minutes with everything on).
