There are three distinct types of | There are three distinct types of Concourses, each corresponding to the type of facility 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. | ||

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 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 === | |||
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. | |||
