[[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 ~~correspond to the port~~ type. For example, the system Ross 263, Doi City and Volta Gateway have Spaceport Concourses. Buffett Hub, Coats Terminal, and Fulton Station have Outpost Concourses. Neumann Survey and Vardeman Observatory have Planetports. Not all ~~facilities in the galaxy are big enough to support a Concourse~~.

There many distinct types of Concourses. Each type has quite different layout. '''Most types do no offer all services.'''

~~Concourse layouts are broadly similar~~, ~~but~~ vary in ~~some~~ details, including lighting ~~and decorations~~, depending on the ~~type of port~~, ~~local~~ economy and [[:Category:Power|power]] who controls it. A ~~prison colony~~ is notably different from an agricultural hub.

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.

[[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.
