Here's some concept pictures that show the development of the vex citadel. I think you'll like them.
Here is the first picture:

Very cool. Rather large too. Really curious to see what's at the heart of that.
Here's pic number 2:

Little closer to what we know and love, aside from that big lift on the left side.
And here's pic numbe- HOLY SHIT!

Well that was......uh......what? I don't quite remember this citadel. Did I miss a strike ride-along with shaxx or what the hell happened? Wait, I see a dot of blue. Did Shaxx fckn fist of havoc the citadel?!
I...I gotta go sit down for a moment, I'll be right back.

I have a challenge for your lore skills Fal!!!
-
This is why Shaxx runs the crucible, you let him out the tower and continents begin to collapse and skyscrapers start dropping like flies.
-
Third picture = Celestial Nighthawk w/ Solar burn

Imagine that 3rd pic being a strike. The Vex, being the Vex, understand that since Rasputin is now awake, the threat of orbital strikes are now plausible. So they build a mind that emits a barrier around the citadel that a strike team has to go in and eliminate. But this is no ordinary strike, after defeating the boss, you now have to escape before Rasputin let's loose the fires of hell (he's a loose cannon still). *Cue epic escape as everything is obliterated around you.
-
I can see the Cabal firing at the Citadel.
-
Very cool!
-
I like the first concept but its too bad someone had to say no to it & give the customers something not as nice.

[quote]Very cool. Rather large too. Really curious to see what's at the heart of that.[/quote] Said everyone before the game came out looking forward to exploring the vast wide adventurous world of Destiny like it was advertised... only to realise we have to turn back in 5..4..3..2..1.....

Rasputin has crashed a warsat

I think the last one would be Rasputin waking up and helping us (after we realized what was really going on. In the "original" story). If you look you can see a projectile moving from the upper left to lower right. Rasputin has orbital weapons around all planets and we can assume that's what's going on there. That aside, I wish the game looked more like that. Fog, smoke, a bit darker in many places. That would give it a less "arcade" atmosphere.
-
That's Zavala leading Wei Ning and Shaxx on a Strike against the Citadel. If you look closely, there's three blue "sparks".
-
Third pic is when Chief fell from orbit
-
The last 2 look awkwardly photoshoped in
-
I didn't know that the North Koreans survived the Collapse..

I thought this was gonna be pictures from the inside. People that glitch out of the map like myself will know that the Citadel looked way different before the HoW
-
[quote]Wait, I see a dot of blue. Did Shaxx fckn fist of havoc the citadel?![/quote] This is actually pretty accurate. In the lore, it's said that Shaxx's FoH could level city blocks... (I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that was about Shaxx.)
-
I wish we had the citadel from the first image.
-
First one looks awesome
-
Is it weird that I like the first 1 better? Looks like a hidden world in the sky, where the citadel just looks like a tower.
-
Please let that happen in D2... That would be an absolutely epic sequence.
-
That's what happens when you make Rasputin angry. Don't make Rasputin angry.
-
The third concept art is basically rasputin saying, " screw the vex."
-
Pic 3, Cabal got tired of all our shenanigans over here in the milky way
-
Was everyone else disappointed with what the citadel was actualy used for, I can remember first getting to Venus and looking at it thinking, "ooo I wonder if that will ever be used for anything?" and all it turned out to be was a jumping puzzle, the quickest gally boss fight ever, and then rehashed for basically the same thing but swap skolas and gally for oryx shade and sleeper.
