What are these "ships" in this picture? After the release of the taken king, people just came to the answer that those ships were the original concept art for the dreadnought. Let me tell you what i think: During the vanilla game I thought that they were vex ships but then I realized that that wouldn't make any sense since the vex can travel anywhere in an instance so ships would just be a waste. No matter how I look at it, they are Vex. I think that those aren't ships, they are vex themselves much like a cyclopes isn't a turret but a vex. I think that these "Ships" are the machines that turn planets into machines. This is still a theory and may be proven wrong, but until then i think i might be onto something.
