Citadel cross section?

[kewlnick12]

Is there anywhere a cross section of the whole citadel kinda like the cross section books that show the inside of the vehicals

 

[ríomhaire]

What vehicles?

Not HL vehicles, he means the books that show the insides of boats, planes, tanks, trains, buildings, etc. I've got a few. They're really good, but I doubt there's a Citadel one out there. Plus, it would take ages to do.

Cars tanks planes ships... He's not talking about HL2 books, he's saying regular books. I used to have one that had cross sections of planes and shit.

And he's asking if there is anything like that for the citadel.

C'mon Riom use your head.

Also I don't think the citadel is very cross-section compatable, maybe the core or whatever but that's about it.

But the answer is no. The Citadel was a fictional building, and lots of the scenes using it, if you think about it, make no sense...the layout is just weird and the higher up into the citadel you go, the bigger the floors get, until they begin to taper off again...

I figure that's because the citadel has a kind of cavernous, modular design. By default, it's just a bunch of massive mile-high hallways that form the superstructure of the place, and then these get filled in with smaller utility appropriate areas and whatever transport infrastructure of makeshift walkways, elevators and conveyors are required by the resident species.

As people have said, there exists no cross-section. We couldn't even go as far as venturing a guess about the Citadel's general shape considering that it's partially buried underground. Most superficial aspects of the citadel are a total mystery: How complete is it when it is deployed? How much of it is constructed later? Does it transform into forms other than the two seen in HL2? Can it move? Can it perform a Daedalus attack and does Hikaru finally realise that Misa is the woman for him and Minmay is just one big wet douche of a woman? Therefore, to wonder about it internally, especially when it is as big as it is, is perhaps jumping the gun

Its still a cool place though.

 

[Adabiviak]

Can you view it as a wireframe in an editor and make believe? :dork:

 

[Ridge]

All that would do is show you the edges of the exterior model...

 

[Derkaiser]

apperantly your imagination is shot

 

[Narvi]

Say it with me: NO.

If you want cross-sections of a sci-fi series, become a Star Wars fan.
