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.

9 回复You have it wrong all the way a fallen ketch is the size of 2 football fields at least oryx fleet ships are the size of a ketch and if you put ten fleet ships in a row it's the length of the dreadnought it's no bigger than the UK

1 回复由Furry Azzre编辑: 8/6/2016 7:14:02 PMSince the earth is 6,371 km and the dreadnaught is 5,110 km. It could be possible for oryx to RAM earth with just the dreadnaught it self. So why do u go to saturn? Obviously Oryx did not look at all the ways he could destroy take over the solar system. But then again it wouldn't be a game so RIP Oryx's Dreadnaught Died of being too big

1 回复That would be like the 3rd largest ship in sci fi. The first is the ark from halo (like over 127,000 kilometres)

Hey, would it be possible to find the size of the Dreadnought when compared to the Awoken Ketches? First, we'd need to find the relative dimensions of a Ketch. Then, we'd need to compare the size of the Ketch to the size of the Queen's Harbingers. Finally, compare the size of the Harbingers to the Dreadnought. Just a thought! :)

3 回复Cinematic and pictures at a angle tend to blow up proportions. Have you calculated the amount of energy it would be needed to move that thing?

2 回复HALF of it is machinery to travel between dimensions, not to mention universal high speed travel.

2 回复I didn't really think about it, but you're right. No wonder it's basically an entirely new world to explore!

16 回复Who cares what the actual size is. It's as big as Saturn that's all anyone needs to know.

1 回复That's one big stick and his sword is pretty big too I think he might be trying to compensate

1 回复Imagine what his "dreadnought" would do to your butt. We all know your not talking about his space ship. Maybe a red rocket.......
