Gokstad Crewships are Grineer troop transport ships in Empyrean missions.
Tactics
Gokstag Crewships are heavily armored, shrugging off all but the most powerful of the player's attacks. Normal Railjack armaments and Archguns will likely be reduced to scratch damage. Munitions are able to penetrate the Crewship's defenses, though several shots will likely be required to destroy the vessel. Destroying a Crewship quickly and efficiently will require the Tenno to use their guided Ordinance on the Railjack (requires Gunner Intrinsics level 5), or to infiltrate the vessel using an Archwing and destroy the Crewship's reactor from the inside.
Crewships are armed with homing missile launchers and can launch up to four Ramsleds to send personnel to board the Railjack. Tenno infiltrating the Crewship can silence the missile launchers and Ramsleds by killing the Crewship's pilot, gunners, and crew; afterward, the Tenno may also hijack the Crewship, piloting it much like their own Railjack, while also becoming a valid target against other Grineer fighters.

Notes
- If defeated with Archwing weapons, the Crewship will not be immediately defeated. The ship will be temporarily disabled for several seconds, then begin regenerating its health.
- Lower tier crewships' reactor lack protection and can be destroyed from the entrance using weapons with sufficient punch through
- Exo crewships will still create healing bubble even if it's entire crew is wipe out and is being piloted by a tenno
- Firing at the crewship with archgun/turrets will inflict plasma procs to it and will increase damage dealt by the forward artillery which might otherwise take several shots to destroy it in higher levels
Trivia
- The Gokstad Crewship is named for the "Gokstad ship", a 9th-century Viking ship found in a burial mound at Gokstad in Norway.
