The Concourse is a public common area within a Station or Surface Port where commanders can meet with each other, take on missions, acquire new personal weapons and suits, exchange or sell certain Components and Goods, watch arriving and departing ships, and more.[1] It can be reached directly from a hangar via the nearest lift. Concourses were introduced in Elite Dangerous: Odyssey.[2]
Types
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.
Spaceport
Spaceports are found in the three starport models, the Coriolis, Ocellus, and Orbis.
Outpost
Outposts are found in Asteroid Bases and orbital Outposts.
Planetport
Planetports are found in Planetary Ports.
Vendors and Services
All Concourses provide access to the following vendors and services.
Apex Interstellar Transport
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.
Frontline Solutions
Frontline Solutions is a non-aligned mercenary company that offers a broad selection of large-scale ground combat missions in systems that are experiencing active conflicts. These missions do not influence a commander's standing with specific factions.
Inter Astra
Inter Astra is an interactive shipyard service where commanders can preview and purchase ships.
Pioneer Supplies
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-Engineered items when they refresh their inventories each week.
The Lounge
The Lounge is a bar area where commanders can meet, socialize, and take in the views of the local port. The bartender can exchange Components and pay Credits for Goods, and also acts as a black market fence.
Vista Genomics
Vista Genomics is an exobiology company that will buy the genetic information of alien life forms discovered by commanders and collected with the Genetic Sampler.
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 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 Store, and Local News. They also display the commander's current Credit and ARX balances, and their reputation with the port's controlling minor faction.
