Even though I personaly voted 'WH40K' for nastiest Cap-ships in the megaverse, I give place of signifigance to the Ships of the 'Earth Defense Forces' or "Space-force" from S.C.Y. (Yamato).
I know I know; WW2 naval ships as space-cruisers seesm silly, but hear me out...
The Yamato had THE most powerful wave-motion gun ever created (even the mighty
Andromeda with its twin WMG's only had 50% of the total destructive force of Yamato's single gun), and it's shock-cannon batteries could, in a single volley, destroy a Gamelon battleship. Also, the ship just..would..not...DIE! During one of the most brutal engagements in the war against the
Comet Empire (series #2), Yamato took shot after shot, round after round to its hull when ambushed by Desslers armada...for what was estimated at a full hour (compressed to within 22 minutes for us viewers)!
You have to admit, if it wasn't for S.C.Y. there wouldn't have been a SDF Macross, there wouldn't be Batlefleet Gothic, the D-Star (based off the
Comet Empire) would have been just a cheesy laser ON a moon, and we certainly wouldn't have had the inside jokes in
Starcraft about the 'Yamato cannons'
So in closing, I must tip my admirals cap to the creators of S.C.Y.; definately not a 1st place winner, but a major second for pop-cultural 'infection'
