   the Golem's basically a new starter ship from Drake for people looking to get into mining it's very Bare Bones they they seen the prospector and was like we can do that maybe and then went to the scrapyard and grabbed a bunch of stuff and stuck it together start is instead of having all these fancy heads that do fancy things and you skip a couple of steps it's learning how to do mining learning how the different like heads and different consumer BS help I believe the best part is it's compact can Mining and also price performance balance ship visually it looks very industrial there's lots of exposed Parts you can

   kind of see that they want to show you how this works the exterior part which Alex and Michael worked heavily on it has lots of Dr spatial DNA details it almost feels like it's missing clading where you would expect there to be covering up these fragile very exposed pieces it's got a couple of like really interesting tanks on the back that sort of store all of the minerals that you're hoovering up you can take them off and then that sort of reveals the tucked away components on the roof and the the sides they're real cool looking I would get up there and just check out the mining arm B did a fantastic job when you take the pods off and you look up where the mining head sits you can see all of the piping and where like the mining head just rests it

   majority of the rocks that you can mine as a single player in the game they should feel like a solid compact ship they can take it and start mining immediately we think this is a good ship for mining to start off with if for people who don't want to invest in a prospector you can grab it sooner start learning how to do it and then you can maybe go to a prospector there afterwards I love Drake I love that it's unapologetically lazy if you're looking for a cool Drake ship which can Mining and also has a compact you should definitely go for it see I'm biased I like all of it so I I don't have a specific spot that I'm like
