Single Pocket

The ships are named differently than normal, for example, the Pleasure Hub Sentinel is actually a Mercenary Overlord.

Spawn One

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO NOT SHOOT KRUUL YET. If you do, 6 more Mercenary Overlords will spawn, and you will be overwhelmed with their DPS.
Full aggro from this initial spawn : 3 Frigates, 4 Cruisers, 3 Battleships

3x Kruul's Henchmen, frigate
4x Pleasure Hub Guardian (aka Mercenary Corporal, Cruiser) Orbits at 17km. Use kinetic ammo, but thermal ammo is ok.
3x Pleasure Hub Sentinel (aka Mercenary Overlord, Battleship) Orbits at 4km. Use thermal.
1x Kruul

I would suggest that you take out the battleships first, then the cruisers, then frigs, and LASTLY, Kruul. Set your drones to passive so they won't shoot at Kruul by accident and trigger the second spawn.

Spawn Two

6x Battleships (Mercenary Overlords)
This group spawns very close to the buildings.

Blitz

If you destroy the casino before kruul, this spawn won't appear.

Spawn Three

Shoot at one of the Pleasure Gardens. When it is some way through it's shields, it will trigger this spawn (if it doesn't, shoot the other one instead):

4x Pleasure Hub Sentinel (aka Mercenary Overlords, Battleship) Orbits at 4km. Use thermal ammo.
4x Pleasure Hub Guardian (aka Mercenary Corporals, Cruiser) Orbits at 17km. Use kinetic ammo, but thermal ammo is ok.
2x Spider Drone (WEB) (Orbits at 7km. Use kinetic or thermal ammo)

Spawn Four

This will spawn when the Pleasure Garden is almost through it's hull.

5x Frigates (Seven Death Dealers)
3x Cruisers (Seven Assassins)
1x Battleship (Zor)

Once you kill the pleasure garden, it will trigger an explosion (it's not very powerful though). The damsel will be in one of the cargo containers dropped (the other one will have some illegal drugs in it).
