The '''Concourse''' is a public common area within a [[Station]] or [[Surface Port]] where [[commander]]s can meet with each other, take on missions, acquire new personal [[Handheld Weapons|weapons]] and [[suits]], exchange or sell certain [[Components]] and [[Goods]], watch arriving and departing [[ship]]s, and more.<ref>[https://www.polygon.com/features/2020/9/29/21493772/elite-dangerous-odyssey-paid-dlc-preview-release-date-price Polygon: New expansion for Elite Dangerous will add tens of thousands of locations to the game]</ref> It can be reached directly from a hangar via the nearest lift.

The '''Concourse''' is a public area with vendors and services in a [[Station]], [[Surface Port]], [[Megaship]], or [[Drake-Class Carrier|Fleet Carrier]].
 
[[Commander]]s can socialize, take on missions, acquire personal equipment (e.g. [[Handheld Weapons|weapons]] and [[suits|suits)]], exchange or sell [[Assets]] and [[Goods]], or simply relax at the bar, watch [[ship]]s arrive and depart.<ref>[https://www.polygon.com/features/2020/9/29/21493772/elite-dangerous-odyssey-paid-dlc-preview-release-date-price Polygon: New expansion for Elite Dangerous will add tens of thousands of locations to the game]</ref> The Concourse is accessible from a [[Landing Pad|hangar]] via the express lift.

[[File:Concourse view alpha.png|250px|right|thumb|Asteroid Base's docking hub viewed from a Concourse]]
There are three distinct types of Concourses, each corresponding to the type of port in which they are located. For example, in the system Ross 263, Doi City and Volta Gateway will have Spaceport Concourses; Buffett Hub, Coats Terminal, and Fulton Station will have Outpost Concourses; and Neumann Survey and Vardeman Observatory will have Planetports. Not all facilities in the galaxy are large enough to support a Concourse, however. Concourse layouts are broadly similar, but will vary in some details, including lighting, depending on the type of port and the local economy; a prison colony will have a different overall feel from an agricultural hub.
There many distinct types of Concourses. Each type has quite different layout. '''Most types do no offer all services.'''


=== Spaceport ===
Similar to stations, each concourse type can also be found in several different visual designs. They vary in details, including decorations, color themes and lighting, depending on whether the base is located in space or on planet's surface, on it's economy and [[:Category:Power|power]] who controls it. A mining economy Spaceport is notably different from planetside agricultural hub.
Spaceports are found in the three [[starport]] models, the [[Coriolis]], [[Ocellus]], and [[Orbis]].


=== Outpost ===
Not all facilities in the galaxy are big enough to support a Concourse.  
Outposts are found in [[Asteroid Base]]s and orbital [[Outpost]]s.


=== Planetport ===

[[Apex Interstellar Transport]] is a shuttle service that commanders can use to travel to other locations without needing to use a personal ship. Commanders simply pay to book a flight to the destination of their choice, either local or in another system, then take a lift to Apex's shuttle hangar, board the Apex [[Adder]] shuttle, and settle in for the ride. Apex shuttles can be booked both at a Concourse and at settlements.

=== Mission Providers ===
=== Mission Providers ===
Mission Providers are minor faction representatives who are seeking to hire commanders for lucrative off-the-books missions. In contrast with accepting a mission through a [[Mission Board]], commanders can negotiate with Mission Providers to try and coax greater rewards from them for successfully completing a mission based on their [[Mercenary]] [[Ranks|rank]]. If a negotiation fails, the commander will have no choice but to accept the default reward if they agree to the mission's terms.

Terminals are interactive kiosks that provide access to the local [[Mission Board]], a record of completed missions, the commander's [[Loadout]] menu, local Contacts, [[Holo-Me]], the [[Livery|Store]], and Local News.

=== Escape Pods ===

Escape Pods are located in Concourses aboard Flight Operations Carrier [[Megaship]]s, and [[Drake-Class Carrier|Fleet Carriers]]<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ_UNo1WIxs YouTube: Elite Dangerous Fleet Carrier Interiors]</ref>. Players can use an Escape Pod to directly enter [[Redeployment]] if: you're trapped aboard a Megaship or Carrier because it jumped to a new location, your personal ship was docked elsewhere and out of range of Apex Interstellar Transport shuttles, or you cannot purchase a new ship due to insufficient [[Credits|funds]] or the absence of an Inter Astra vendor.

== Persistence ==
Concourses are generated as part of normal instances in the game. The [[power]] who controls the [[Star system|system]] influences the thematic interior design such as posters, colors and other decorations.
Players flying ships in a starport docking bay or outside an outpost can view players and [[NPC]]<nowiki/>s inside a Concourse through its windows, and vice-versa. Players without ''[[Elite Dangerous: Odyssey|Odyssey]]'' cannot see through windows into a Concourse. They merely see a bright light.
[[NPC]]<nowiki/>s in the Concourse have names. You can see it by using the [[Emotes|Point emote]] at the NPC. If you use the salute emote they will sometimes salute back.
