Whats the benefits to upgrading cartel port

[Naptownmark]

Is it a lost cause to upgrade the cartel port. I only use it to go directly to the cartel fica

It holds resources you’ve earned from cartel events (like wars) that don’t fit within your resource capacity.

Higher port level holds more. If it doesn’t fit in your resource storage or Cartel Port, you will lose the rest of the resources.
