It definitely isn't supposed to be that big. If you look at the cinematics that have been released, you can see Hive Tomb Ships next to the Dreadnaught. We know approximately how large those are so we can gauge distance and thus size of the Dreadnaught. I don't want to crank numbers but it's definitely not as large as the image in the rings makes it out to be.

Maybe they are really big tomb ships? Idk they probably just screwed up again
-
Except we see them also next to the Awoken Fleet. Nice try but no.
-
Yeah, if this things 5kk (lol) I din't even think ORyx would know his way around it.

I figured those may be larger capital ships that just look like the tombships.

There are three types of ships in the cinematics. The Dreadnaught, only of its size. Thousands of Tomb Ships. And a few "capital ships". We know those are tomb ships because we see them not only in perspective to the Dreadnaught, but also to Awoken trident ships and Fallen Ketchs. They're tomb ships alright. Not large ships designed to look like tomb ships. Also, I doubt Bungie would fall for such a childish mistake in making two things of different sizes look exactly the same. It makes perspectives difficult.

Sure, but still neither of us knows for sure

Well it's not science so there technically isn't a correct answer. But a logical perspective on the cinematics show that the OPs original mathematics (although correct based on the image of the ship in the rings) does NOT fit logically into what is depicted in the cutscenes. The Dreadnaught in the cutscenes is much closer to the size of a small city based on the size of the Tomb Ships. Probably almost akin to New York City and the island of Manhattan.

Maybe Saturn shrank sometime in the next 700 years?
-
Very true. But that would only make OP wrong yet again. In that case, the Dreadnaught STILL isn't as big as he thinks
-
Maybe we're throwing poo at the walls to cover for Bungie's obvious cinematic inconsistency, because we have nothing else to do for the next three days? LOL... "There is no excuse for this, but by god I will argue it... because it's the internet!!!"
