Okay this is a long shot but I'm talking about an English dubbed anime I watched in the Netherlands at some some point in the early nineties, though it is probably older than that. It is about a spaceship captain who has a ring that can somehow supercharge the weapons of the ship but it can be used once a day, one episode they used energy from the energies to make it look he was using his ring and scare the enemies of though that apparently almost caused the weapons to overheat and explode. Also in the opening the captain talks about how his best friend was kidnapped and brainwashed into becoming the villains'leader.
