Unwavering resolve gives rise to unstoppable force. – Admiral Yakiya Tovil-Toba Geared toward versatility and prolonged deployment in hostile environments, Marauders represent the cutting edge in today’s warship technology. While being thick-skinned, hard-hitting monsters on their own, they are also able to use Bastion technology. Similar in effect to capital reconfiguration technology, when activated the Bastion module provides resistance to electronic warfare and the ability to withstand enormous amounts of punishment, at the cost of being stationary.

Summary

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], the Golem was the least favoured Marauder, capsuleers often favoring the Vargur or the pirate battleship the 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.

Skills

• Cruise Missiles, and Torpedoes should be trained to V, and Cruise Missile Specialization/Torpedo Specialization to at least I to fit T2 Launchers, which do more damage, along with providing the ability to use T2 ammo types.
• Missile Launcher Operation, Rapid Launch, Warhead Upgrades, skills that increase DPS and are thus vital to all missile-based damage dealing ships, should all be trained to at least IV.
• Along with the requisite Engineering and Electronic Systems skills required for adequately fitting most ships. Weapon Upgrades and Advanced Weapon Upgrades should be trained to V (as this is a requirement anyways) to help alleviate fitting problems.
• Guided Missile Precision, Target Navigation Prediction and Target Painting to at least IV to combat smaller targets and gain access to the T2 Target Painter module.
• Missile Projection and Missile Bombardment to at least IV and ideally V to maximize the range at which all missiles travel.
• Drones V, Light Drone Operation V, Medium Drone Operation V, Drone Interfacing IV and Gallente Drone Specialization I/Minmatar Drone Specialization I are all are important for getting as much DPS out of the drone bay as possible.
• Shield Operation and Shield Management should be trained to at least IV to improve shield capacity and recharge rate. While Tactical Shield Manipulation should be trained to V remove shield penetration chance and to allow the use of the T2 Shield Boost Amplifier module.
• Shield Upgrades should be trained to IV to allow the use of T2 Shield Hardeners, Resistance Amplifiers, Shield Boosters, Shield Power Relays, Shield Extenders and Shield Rechargers.
• ' Electronic Warfare should be trained to level III to allow training of Long Distance Jamming which increases the optimal range of target painters by 10% per level.
• Finally, Hull Upgrades should be trained to level IV to allow the use of the T2 Damage Control module.

Tactics

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.
