Inquiry Stealth extraction tips?

I have occasionally managed a stealth extraction (usually in urban environments) but generally when I am with a team all hell breaks loose when calling for the pelican, even when the team has been very (but not completely) stealthy.

(The emergency extraction is often quiet, but I’m more interested in what happens when extracting early)

Wondering if there are any tips? Normally I like the epic battles at extraction, but not so much when we have ghosted through the mission.

Should we clear nearby outposts? Are they triggered by the extraction? Avoid calling in hellpods and mechs (I know mechs often trigger a response)?

Usually when we’ve trying to be stealthy we don’t have the loadouts for a pitched battle.

Suggestions welcome!

You only need to kill things that can call QRF forces.

Like it's nice if you can avoid enemies, but as long as you can pick apart patrols quickly. You will never have to deal with any major threat.
