After successfully loading the cargo, the host pilots the Hercules to Port Tressler, where they unload the cargo and complete several contracts. They discuss the advantages of the Hercules series, particularly its dual access points for loading and unloading, which enhances efficiency. The host also reflects on the decision to choose the M2 variant over the C2, citing future-proofing and crew capacity as key factors in their choice.
