    The saucer is identical to that on the Command BC, and that's a fairly hefty ship. So I guess it could be big enough; and it did seem quite large in DSC S2.

    But I must admit it doesn't really scream dreadnought to me. It just looks like a stealth-ified Miranda.

    I've dug about a little and I think this was referred to as the Shiva class during production. There's another one without the rollbar which is the Deimos.

    If that's right, then according to Ex Astris Scientia, the ship is scaled to just over 645m long, which is just a hair longer than the Inquiry class.

    Also in the launcher, the ship appears to be upside down.

    It has a swarm mode, so based on the S31 cruiser with the same ability, the hit box for this ship when that is turned on will be roughly half the map anyway. Not all dreadnoughts need to be "Death Star superweapon-sized", but until Cryptic gives us something else to compare to in game we don't really know how big or small this thing is. The Miranda rollbar might be big enough for several Mirandas to fly through for all we know right now. I'm going to guess the next Ten Forward stream will show it off since this week was focused on the Intel space overhaul.

    I don't think size matters much, the Cardenas is rather small and it's a dreadnought
