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.

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

Is it huge ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Is it massive ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Now I want to do the math and see if the sheiks brothers strike is legit and see if something that big can have a explosion radius that big

1 ReplyMath my worst enemy we meet again.....

Its probably the latter, the "rule of cool". Or, perhaps, its the section we visit, and a whole lot of armor and ammunition storage and palces where no one really needs to be.

Maybe it is but I'm sure the [i]"playable"[/i] space will be tiny. It will be about the space that TDB added. Bungie will just add backward paths and reuse existing maps to [i]claim[/i] there is so much new content.

3 RepliesEdited by UGL13RTH4NU: 9/11/2015 8:28:26 PMDumb question here but, don't you have to know the distance of the dreadnought from the rings before you can make your other calculations? What you're seeing is a matter of perspective from where your standing. I'm shitty at math but, I'm pretty sure you need to known factors to extrapolate the size. You've only got one.

Dont get over hyped now, the earth is also huge, hell russias huge but we can only go to an airfield

It wasn't right next to Saturn so I suspect it's a bit smaller. Kinda like a goalie standing far away from the net so there's less to shoot for. From the perspective it looks just as big even tho it's pretty far away.
-
5 RepliesAnother eerie factoid to add is that with the Hive's ability to manipulate dimesional space the actual interior of the Dreadnaught could be much MUCH bigger, i mean look at Crotas pocket dimension on the moon, we drop down into a darkened area through a portal that leads to castle floating in nothingness with its own dead star but from other perspectives the "area" we are falling into is just a pit that ends near Phogoths summoning chamber. Food for thought while exploring lol.

Highly advanced militarized race Always are on the offensive DREADNOUGHT I expect this thing to have been bigger. The only other ring I i expect in this game to be near as big would be a cabal capital ship.
