Nnnooooooooo...!!
I've c/p a few of the previous posters, saves me some typing.
- The battle at Endor (RotJ)
- The battle for Deep Space 9 where the Federation fleet has to punch through the Dominion fleet to retake the station.
- New Battlestar Galactica Nebula Escape battle
- Macross Plus (OVA) openning scene
- Macross DYRL (openning and ending battle)
- Macross II ending battle
- The battle at Deep Space 9 where the Federation fleet has to punch through the Dominion fleet to retake the station. (Sacrifice of Angels)
- Any large scale space battle in B5
- Battle for Earth in the beginning of Star Trek: First Contact ("It ìs good day to die!")
But I realy, truly still miss a perfect space battle, THE ultimate space battle as the battle at the Pelennor Fields in Return of the King is THE 'ancient' land battle. A space battle scene that is ongoing, without jumping to another sidestory on a planet. I'd love to see a long and large space battle, each time focussing on a hero struggling for his or her life, failing or succeeding. A flagship-crew that is working frantically to get the orders out and to assess the situation, a captain that is making tough decissions.
The battle of the New Galactica at the Ragnar station was a step in that direction, with distorted voices over the comm that battle was exciting as the physics were correct (remember the afterburn slide in Wing Commander?), it was however still too short.
