What to know
The Golem is a small entry level mining ship developed by Drake Interplanetary. On the Golem, one pilot controls scanning, fracture, collection, and capacity, making independent mining possible without a larger industrial crew.
Golem specifications
Keeping the mining cycle moving
The Golem gives one pilot a compact entry into ship-based mining. Its Size 1 Pitman laser handles fracture and extraction, while internal storage and equipment racks keep personal gear organized during short independent mining runs.
Capacity, control, and life
For the Golem, one pilot controls scanning, fracture, collection, and capacity, making independent mining possible without a larger industrial crew.
Development note: The Golem is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 4.1.0. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.
The Golem's mining system
The Golem combines the mining laser and detachable ore containers with collection and storage so a promising deposit becomes a load the operator can deliver.
The Golem's Size 1 Pitman mining laser gives one pilot direct control of fracture and extraction during compact mining runs.
Cargo or equipment remains organized aboard the Golem through cargo.
The Golem compares composition, fracture risk, and remaining capacity before committing time and energy to a deposit.
Clear feedback lets the operator adjust the mining laser and detachable ore containers as the material responds instead of treating every rock the same way.
A complete first mining cycle in one small ship
The Golem pairs its approachable Pitman mining laser with 32 SCU of detachable mineral storage. One pilot can fracture, extract, and carry a meaningful load while learning the full mining loop in a compact ship.
A Size 1 mining laser and two detachable 16-SCU ore containers
Bring the mining laser and detachable ore containers onto a deposit only after the Golem confirms composition, risk, and free storage.
Monitor the mining laser and detachable ore containers and the material flow throughout extraction.
Move material created by the mining laser and detachable ore containers into storage before the Golem's handling path becomes the bottleneck.
A solo mining shift
The Golem turns a promising deposit into valuable ore by connecting the first scan, the mining laser and detachable ore containers, collection, and transport to a refinery.
-
Choose material worth the Golem's time and capacity
The operator scans before committing the Golem, protecting capacity from low-value or unstable material.
-
Use the mining laser and detachable ore containers with controlled power
On the Golem, controlled use of the mining laser and detachable ore containers protects the material already collected and keeps the extraction cycle moving.
-
Move recovered material into the Golem's storage
The Golem keeps valuable material moving into storage while the operator watches contamination, capacity, and tool condition.
-
Send the Golem's load to a refinery
A mining job ends with the load secured and a practical transfer or refining plan for the Golem.
The Golem, from scanner to stored material
The Golem uses its mining laser and detachable ore containers to extract material, store it, and transfer it for refining.
In addition to its 0.9 SCU internal storage compartment, the Golem has storage racks built to carry weapons and utility items.
Two Size 1 guns and two Size 1 missiles provide basic protection while the single pilot works around a remote mining site.
For the Golem, scanning helps the operator decide whether a deposit is worth committing the mining laser and detachable ore containers and remaining capacity.
Clear readouts and steady power help the crew control the mining laser and detachable ore containers and recover more of the deposit aboard the Golem.
Every valuable load begins with the right deposit
The Golem's pilot manages the survey, extraction, material flow, and remaining capacity through the same mining cycle.
Turn compact deposits into saleable ore
The Golem creates value by choosing the right deposit, using the mining laser and detachable ore containers carefully, and keeping the recovered material moving toward refining.
For the Golem, composition, fracture risk, access, and remaining capacity determine whether a deposit deserves the time.
Aboard the Golem, controlled use of the mining laser and detachable ore containers protects the material already collected and keeps the extraction cycle moving.
For the Golem, storage, mixed material, wear, and the refinery route matter before another rock is opened.
