13,856 meters on a side X 3 sides (X-Y-Z axes),~= 2.66 trillion cubic meters or ~=2.66 billion cubic kilometers.
Some peoples should play less and go back to school asap !
1 cubic kilometer is NOT = 1000 cubic meters
edit : to answer the thread starter, i found space zones to be small, even if we move slowly and if it is empty... it is not enough to lure me in the idea that the zones are big. But it is big enough for what you will have to do in it, aka nothing (lack of content to not change with ground game).

You can't get close to the planets. You run into an invisible barier and begin to move sideways. You'll know you're there when the space dust goes side to side past your ship. It's really quite far away from the planets.

i say its to small, and the reason it seems big is because the ships are slow enough to accomodate it, which simply gives the illusion of it being big, its not. in RL a fighter could fly the distance in 2min or less, in space ide expect seconds. sure its a game but i wanna go fast man lol
I find that comment somewhat amussing, (not a flame) because in real there are no space fighters.
Don't take this as a flame, I just got a giggle out of it.
obviously im not talking about "space fighters" lol. a fighter jet could fly the distance in under 2 min, the space shuttle for example would do that in seconds.
