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.

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.
