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 RepliesYou made one fatal flaw. The distance the dreadnought is to saturn. Unless there is a reference point AND a know distance it's impossible to accurately figure it out
-
13 RepliesIt 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.

So it's roughly 3000 miles long... or, to put it another way, the same size as the United States.

Did you use a hydrospanner to calculate this? If not , you're off somewhere because of the negative power coupling.

2 RepliesWe wont be able to visit all of it. The hive need break rooms, storage, engines, bunks, offices, meeting rooms, etc. you cant expect the hive to live without any of these, can you!
