I don't think you are using golems in the right way if your Starships are doing better than them. I win with golems all the time; they are the backbone of my fleet. Sometimes when I go for a core world, I may lose one, but they are the most durable units in the game. If the most durable units in the game are going down like a wet sack of hammers, time to reevaluate your strategy.
