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.

[[Pioneer Supplies]] is a general store that offers a wide selection personal weapons, [[suits]], and consumable items for purchase. Vendors will also buy any extra items from commanders, but for less than they sell them. Pioneer Supplies locations have a chance of stocking pre-[[Engineers|Engineered]] items when they refresh their inventories each week.

=== 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. They also display the commander's current [[Credits|Credit]] and [[ARX]] balances, and their [[reputation]] with the port's controlling minor faction.
