The problem to me is like the forground figures are sort of lost in space hovering above everything.
In this example I tried to ground them in a dark control room and out the window we would see all of the action of the transports and the people hurrying around.
Obviously an alt. would be a brighter control room or something like that but at least from this you guys can see what I mean. If there were originally an establishing shot of the guys up on a raised platform this shot wouldn't seem so weird.
