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.

This, is a post
-
or its simply depth perception....did you account for the size in relation to distance from saturn?
-
This sounds like a euphemism.
-
1 ReplyNot big as the Infinity
-
It could be the size of a galaxy, if it has a lake, we're screwed.
-
Benign, nine and a half.

But there's an invisible wall after 20 metres.

Rated Teen yo

2 RepliesAssuming that the explosion/weapon blast that causes the hole in the rings was spherical that would indicate that the ship is not on the same plane as the rings judging from the profile of the edges of the hole. Just saying.
-
Kudos for the sums. I have no problem with the head of an alien pantheon of gods having a ship the size of a small planet.
-
Thats doesnt seem right lol [spoiler]i hope it is tho[/spoiler]
-
But we can only explore 2 km of it :(
-
3 RepliesYou would have to know how far away the Dreadnought is from Saturn to do that calculation....
-
4 RepliesThe collector drednaught beyond the omega 4 relay? I mean.. oryxes obe?.. He took control of the krogans right? Defiantly not the geth...
-
That's pretty damn big
-
2 RepliesI feel like you could also use the cinematic trailer to calculate this. Determine the size of a warsat, use the to determine the size of the asteroid it is engulfed by. Then using some pro timing, take a screen capture of it right before the asteroid impacts the dreadnaught. Then calculate the size of the dreadnaught as compared to the asteroid.
-
It's over 9000
-
Are we actually talking about his Dreadnaught or are we talking about his Dreadnaught-Dreadnaught?
-
But we only have a access key to 4 rooms !! Bummer.... joking :P nice calculation!
-
luckily enough, majority of that space will be taken by the engine, so we don't have to walk too much ;)
-
Unfortunately we'll be seeing the outermost section and the innermost Oryx's bedroom section. Nothing inbetween.

3 RepliesEdited by CharacterZ3RO: 9/11/2015 7:45:44 PMIt will be the size of the part of old Russia you start in. It's going to be small
-
You can't put the spoiler in the title. Not cool! I'm gonna cancel my preorder now. Thanks a lot.
-
Bruh, why don't you just compare the Warsat that crashes into it?
