Okay that does help, I definitely need visuals. Like the picture of the hilariously angry sun with the Sphere around it before was really helpful to me to understand the scope, and Dezi finding a layout of what home quarters might look like helped, too. I'm fine with your ideas for it, I just guess I need to see representations (so actually yesss thank you for this picture, this is exactly the sort of thing I need) to really understand because descriptions aren't helping me so much.
So like what do you think goes on the highest levels? Is that where ships are docked/come and go? Are the populated levels just built to function for however we need them (which I guess is what modular means?)
And my other big thing is like I guess I don't understand what it looks like inside still. Like shop fronts and schools and SHIELD HQ and how people's "quarters" fit if there's not room for really free standing buildings (unless there is?). Is it like this? Sort of space-stationy "hallways" but large enough to accommodate vehicles, with homes/businesses/etc built into walls? Or are populated levels more like this, where there's still just enough room for actual buildings on each level (that actually looks really cool and it seems like you could do cars but still have parks and stuff and that big water tank thing, idk)?
So yes, I just want an idea of specifics of where we're living and stuff and I can't seem to envision it properly without seeing some approximation. I'm not sure why this has been so hard for me to grasp.
