Is there a world of worlds? (Destiny)

I think the main limitation of the Vex, and most of the Destiny universe is that empires don't seem to be that good at violence. The Hive, those omnicidal maniacs, still just run at you with hordes of thrall while the knights occasionally shoot from the rear. They just seem inferior to most modern military forces.

Good point. Also, their bodies are quite inferior to Exos. Slow, jerky movements, with their vitals unprotected. You would think that if they were thousands or millions of years old, they would have developed better motor skills. Perhaps that's not a priority since they can teleport across space and time.

IIRC, the lore of the vex is that they don't actually have or use proper weapons. They're shooting us with the tools they use to build their machine worlds. Welding torches and what ever else they had around. My point being that what we're fighting are not, expressly, combat units armed for battle, but rather the maintenance crew building a new computer. This is just Joe from IT. Wait until Maya the super-soldier shows up. That'll be a real fight.
