The '''Golem''' is the Caldari [[Marauder]]. It is a heavily modified Raven hull that makes use of a [[Bastion Module]] in order to greatly increase its combat performance. It makes great use of Torpedoes or Cruise missiles in conjunction with the bonus to Target Painters, either weapon system is viable however the schools of thought are very competitive. However, they can both agree that this Marauder is an active shield tanked battleship and is ''very'' effective in level 4 mission running.

Until recently{{Verify|title= Is this still true?}}, the Golem was ~~a red-headed stepchild of~~ the ~~other Marauders~~, capsuleers often favoring the Vargur or the pirate battleship Machariel. Luckily with Rubicon and the changes to Target Painter cycle times, as well as the Marauders' new bonus to micro jump drives, the Golem has become a more popular choice than in the past.

The Micro Jump Drive will be primarily used for getting gate to gate; zooming out and measuring a distance with your finger and thumb from your ship to 100km out can help you gauge where you need to jump in order to put gates that are outside of 15km in range a second. Inside of 15km, you're better off approaching.

The Micro Jump Drive will be primarily used for getting between gate to gate; zooming out and measuring a distance with your finger and thumb from your ship to 100km out can help you gauge where you need to jump in order to put gates that are outside of 15km in range a second. Inside of 15km, you're better off approaching.

The Golem is widely considered to be the weakest of the ~~marauders~~. This is due to the delayed damage of missiles and the poor application of cruise missiles and torpedoes. Even with the Golem's bonus to target painter strength and large missile explosion velocity, it struggles to apply damage to destroyers and frigates. The Golem also has the lowest DPS of the ~~marauders~~, and its low drone bandwidth means it cannot field drones bigger than lights effectively. While the Golem can be rapid heavy fit to improve its low application, the small clip and long reload time of rapid heavies combined with the lower damage compared to torpedoes means that they are very rarely used. While this may sound overwhelmingly negative, the Golem does still see use in small scale PvP and solo PvE. But for fleet PvP and PvE most groups use one of the other ~~marauders~~, and for small scale PvP and solo PvE the Golem is still outshone by the other shield marauder, the [[Vargur]].
