Desslok/Desslar had his Desslok Cannon (said to be weaker than the Wave Motion Gun, but not so much that you'd really notice), and the Comet Empire had their weaker (only one ship at a time) but longer-ranged Magna-Flame Cannon. itself wasn't just a heroes-only weapon: by season 2, most ships in the Earth Defence Force carried one (some had two), and once exposed to the Wave Motion Gun, everyone else tried to copy or modify one. Notably, the original Wave Motion Gun note Originally called "Hadou Hou" in Japanese (literally, "Wave Cannon"). Space Battleship Yamato: The eponymous main weapon of the Yamato.Invariably, just before firing, The Captain has to order the attack.
It also explains how a small fleet can win consistently against enemies that grossly outnumber them: the defense units just have to hold their ground until the Gun(s) is ready to fire. And don't even think about trying to waste your time with puny Deflector Shields - it'll just punch right through 'em.įrequently, the Wave Motion Gun is made of Lost Technology, or is an experimental prototype, but sometimes they're a dime a dozen. It doesn't necessarily have to even hit if you're too close, the sheer energy bleeding off from the beam can be deadly.
If it's a sufficiently humongous Cool Ship, it will be equipped with a Laser Beam on steroids: the Wave Motion Gun - an enormous Ray Gun that fires a massive energy beam capable of blowing away an enemy ship (in the "blow a battleship in half" sense), sometimes an entire fleet, with one shot, and maybe even blowing up an entire planet. The Cool Ship needs an equally cool weapon.
