A Bit of Help.

I am trying to think of an idea for the interior and exterior of a Space elevator [Well the part that actually moves thing...] I am going with kinda the general look of the Space Tether from the Halo Universe. If anyone can give me some assistance, for example a design, it would be appreciated.

You could probably design a platform at the top similar to the MAC platforms. If you can find excerpts from the Halo book about the space elevator (I forget which one it is, someone help?) all the better. Orbital, the Halo 3 level, takes place in a space elevator so you could take inspiration from that as well. As far as the climbing rig goes, you should stick with function over form and see how it changes your level layout.

Ghosts of Onyx describes one of the space elevators on Earth.
