i'm assuming it's all WIP, but here's my crits.
the higher part next to the blue areas is very flat, same goes for the collumn going down out of it. it's totally flat, and taking the hog for scale there, that's one big ass flat bit. similar things for the blue areas, the top one seems to be very un-planar, and just way to deep somehow. (that's like a 2 meter deep inset you've got there)
i'm not a big fan of the round things either, it just seems to take away so much from the feel. it just doesn't fit. not sure what to suggest about that, i'll leave that up to you.

and the entire map just seems WAAAY huge. right now, that's larger than gay-oh-phobia. you sure you've got that scale right?

might want to bring that butress closer to the middle structure, and cut that span in between it and the middle about in half. (thats assuming IM even taking the scale right)
Thanks again for the candid response, Tweek. I have redone the freaking buttress base about four times now, and each time I find something that I like, but I am collectively discontent with it as well. It does, in fact, lack cohesion with the central structure. I need to sit down and do some more sketches. I have spent most of my time sketching the central tower as well as a dam complex that will connect the central structure with the main red and blue base. So, I think I am going back to square one again with the buttress base.

One thing that I am trying to keep, however, is the energy beams (represented by the two transparent cylindrical lines). They are a part of the "backstory" for this map.

As far as scale is concerned, I really don't see where it is going to be any bigger than Infinity. At least in terms of proximity among structures. The towers are very tall, which no doubt makes the map look huge. I will post a layout plan soon. I just need to put something together that is halfway legible.
