Optional Approach

Stop shooting the Mother Drone and take out each spawn, this avoids getting swarmed and possibly overwhelmed by their combined DPS.
If your ship is well tanked, you may opt to finish the Mother Drone first and take out the swarm as it approaches.
The highest DPS in this Pocket comes from the Mother Drone.

Loot and Bounty

Mother Ship drops an Elite Drone AI.
Loot + Salvage: ~8.8 mil
Bounty: ~4.8 mil.
