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.

4 RepliesHow did you even determine its 0.07?

You have done well yes?...

For fun, this is slightly larger Canada from coast to coast, sphered.

Edited by cclloyd: 9/11/2015 11:01:56 PMI came up with anywhere from 500-2000 miles long (800-3200 km) when I did my calculations. I couldn't find an exact number for how wide the rings are, as I couldn't find data on the gap between the planet and the rings, and didn't bother to hard measure the size of the ship in relation to the rings (just estimated). https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/149570839/0/0

metric the master measurement.

7 RepliesSo how many miles is this?

1 ReplyYou've calculated nothing. You've estimated it's size.

If you need a redbull code came get one :) http://www.twitch.tv/schwany44/mobile

6 RepliesWell in all fairness... From the surface of mars, Phobos would look like a tiny point of light in the sky. So Clearly bungie has some issues with scale. On a more exciting note, I cant remember where I was, but on earth you can see mars in the night sky. It's also a little off of scale (but not by much)
-
Unless Oryx's ship is literally inside, or overlapping the rings, your math may be off

That dudes dreadnaught is hung!!

1 ReplyThat ship in Space Balls is still longer

ron jeremys dinkle in space.

seriously? Saturns rings are more like 280,000km across...

4 RepliesAccording to these calculations, The Dreadnaught is longer than the United Kingdom. That is -blam!-ing huge! This thing would take years to fully explore. No doubt Bungie knows full well how big this thing is, these guys are the people who built the amazing Halo Universe where every damned thing was carefully crafted to fit in the continuity. I personally can't wait to explore this wretched starship!

Let's just call it a a planet with a steering wheel. Much easier

Too easy baby

4 RepliesIt reminds me of the twin towers hmm wonder why Bump this genius
-
4 RepliesDid it occur to you that nothing bungie design is to scale? The size they made the moon when viewed from the tower would suggest it's about 15 times closer than it actually is That's just one example of many..

3 RepliesThe dreadnaught is like throwing a hotdog down a hallway

Too bad we wont be able to explore the whole thing.
