I calculated how big Oryx's Dreadnaught is (spoiler: it's HUGE).
It's pretty easy to do. You can see how big it is in relation to Saturn's rings during the arrival cinematic for the new Crucible map, The Dungeons.
Saturn's rings are 73,000 km wide. From the cinematic, the Dreadnaught is about 0.07 times as long, and in the same plane as the rings. That makes the Dreadnaught...
[b]5110km long![/b]
That's over 5 million metres.
From other, better quality images of the Dreadnaught, I've calculated that one side of one of its square ends is about 0.3 times as long as it's length. Therefore, that gives a total volume of...
[b]1.2 x 10^10 (12000000000) cubic kilometres![/b]
So, yeah. It's pretty damn big.
[b]Edit:[/b]
Obviously, I am not expecting that we will be able to visit even a tiny fraction of this. Just like how we cannot visit all of the Earth, Venus, etc.
Also, I find it likely that Bungie does not actually intend for it to be this big, and instead either didn't realise (or expected other people not to realise) just how big Saturn's rings are. That, or it's just to make it look more badass.

2 RepliesWe wont be able to visit all of it. The hive need break rooms, storage, engines, bunks, offices, meeting rooms, etc. you cant expect the hive to live without any of these, can you!

I'm betting it's like a star destroyer. We see it's massive but we really only visit a few choice areas.

1 ReplyWell, I see Bungie has continued escalating ship sizes even after Halo. A Hive Dreadnaught wouldn't even able to land on a freaking Halo Installation; its too big.

1 ReplyDid you consider camera angle, distance of ship from planet, distance from orbit, and several other factors that might skew the vision into an optical illusion to make it look as big as the planet but in fact is only a fraction of a fraction of it size?

31 RepliesWtf are meters? Please post in miles next time. 'Merica.

Way to much hard work for bungledvision to create something that big. Expect to be majorly disappointed in its actual playable area. This is Bungie with Activision holding the purse strings...

2 RepliesBeing in the U.S., 5110 kilos converts to 3175.206 miles. That's a huge ship Oryx has got there. [spoiler]totally didn't use google to convert it[/spoiler]

Edited by SoncTheBlueRat: 9/12/2015 4:35:08 PMso the dreadnaught is over 5 mega metres long, damn that's big.

2 RepliesIts like the opposite of the tardis. Bigger on the outside than the inside.

2 RepliesI did some measuring with a different reference point, which I think removes the depth perception question completely. I used this trailer [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jm8cxcmVA8Y[/url]. I'm pretty sure that space rock that hits the ship is Comet 67p/Cheerio-Emelianenko(if it's not, then none of this applies). It's listed to be about 2.5 by 2.7mi. Just before it explodes on impact with the dreadlock, I measured it at 2/16in or 1/8in or 0.125in. Then I measured 3 full screens of the ship passing by, from around 0:40 to 0:55, with each screen being 19.75in, for 59.25in(3 x 19.75). This is where my final number could go off course, because I just guesstimated that the final back section is a little less than a third of the whole ship, and called it 17in(close to 1/3 of 59.25), for a total of 76.25in So: 1(inch) divided by 0.125 = 8 "rocks" per inch... 8 x 76.25 = 610 "rocks", each rock being we'll say 2.6mi across so 610 x 2.6 = 1585 miles or 2550 km If they crafted that rock to be this specific comet, I feel like they would be aware of its size. You never know though, it coulda just been an artistic choice. I reserve the right to be completely wrong or mistaken (I'm no mathemagician) and maintain my dignity tho. It seems like no matter how you look at it, Oryx has an enormous dreadnaught.

Next Generation - Skyrim is bigger LOL wut.

Size doesn't matter. It's how you use it.

Edited by seraphic_thunder: 9/12/2015 1:25:00 PMTo bad the playable area is only as big as the Cosmodrome

1 ReplyGood job its rather funny as my friend believes due to the intro cutscene that the dreadnought is the size of Saturn so had to put it in simple terms... Small...far away. Small...far away.
