What should I expect when extracting the Damsel on a level 4 mission?
Last I did this was in Shiva testing, before complexes were introduced, and then it was Zor and his lesser, cruiser flying kidnapper frieds, so I expect to tank for Cataclysm cruises, but what else?
I just returned, so I thought it would be best to gather some intel so I can learn the level 4 ropes without losing too many battleships.

Zzzammaatzzz dudes and dudets mostly, Cruisera dn Frigs but nothing crazy.
Only Zor, the wingman and the 2 spider drones are really worth mentioning.
Wingmen respawn, which is a pain in the ass

Not sure who is pimping her out nowadays.
Trust me she aint no damsel, she's a high priced female escort that keeps calling her pimp crying cuz she getting vandalized by a group of pirates. she just thought it was a one time bore with Zor.
Spot in with the mission tho. it was toned a bit from your testing. the toned down a tiny bit overall but increased zor's spamage of them missles from then.
One arbalest assault launcher with defenders = no damage from zor almost. it's the perfect anti Zor counter weapon. perfect i tell ya.
and them respawning wingmen are a pain. If the complex stays active they keep respawning even if your not in it. people have warped out, waited for their buddies to come online and returned to finish the mission but upon renetering the complex there was over 30 or 50 wingmen at the spawn jump in location.
my guess is the mission holder went into system to mine after he decided he couldn't do it solo and being he was in system in space the complex was active allowing the wingmen to constanly respawn. 3 hours later .......you got guaranteed insto melt of everyone who jumps in.

The hardest thing about this mission is the mercenary wingmen and bodyguards do EM, Explosive and a small amount of Kinetic damage. Then Zor does thermal damage with his missles. So your facing every damage type in this mission which makes your tank much less effective. Overall not too hard though.
And yes those respawning wingman are a pain in the arse. Especially while you are collecting loot. The first time I did it I brought my hauler in on my other account after I killed everyone. I was 90k away from my battleship picking up loot and the wingman spawned right on top of my hauler. I wasn't even in locking range to take him on with my BS. Poof.

Then maybe I should try to send my drones on the wingmen (that used to work just fine before Exodus) while I slam Zor with everything else the Megathron can offer.

I think they fixed the bug with the wingmen.. Never seen more than 4 of them at a time, and i've waited for wingmen also :)
Biggest hazzle are the cruisers, they hurt a lot in my experience (Flying Apoc).

A tip for you: the cans stay alive for 1hour or more. Kill all the rats and during killing the last ships fly to the Outpost, where the damsel is in. Bookmark one loot container. After picking up the damsel go to your agent, tell him you finished and then go with your hauler to pickup the loot. No wingmen will arrive...

But in the latest patch, you can't bookmark in deadspace, so soon as you complete the mission *poof* goes the warpgate and you can't get to your cans.

Yes you can. You just can't warp directly to the BM while the mission is active.
