Any other?

[Momogari]

Bruh.

Nausicaa 1984.



If it's a common plot element, I'm sure that has something to do with it.

[Momogari]

There are definitely more anime. I can think of one or two that were spawned specifically based on the idea that didn't look all that interesting so I don't remember their names.

Elemental Gelade. Not in that category but I think it had the element.

Mouretsu Space Pirates--which suffers from the terrible english name Bodacious Space Pirates--clearly derivative, but it was alright.

Oh, Mouretsu Space Pirates--which suffers from the terrible english name Bodacious Space Pirates--clearly derivative, but it was alright.

If you like spaceship and stuff
you should watch
Terra E
Macroos F
and Crest of stars and Banner of stars series
@unoduetre BTW Tytania is anime as well

[Citizen]

Queen Emeraldas
Castle in the Sky
Coyote Ragtime Show

Tenchi Muyo technically I guess, when they fly in Ryo-Ohki. Ryoko is a space pirate and Ryo-Ohki is her ship.

Read the first post for the reason why it's marked as a light novel.
