Things that would have made this movie miles better.

*Given it a £20,000,000+ budget (as was done in sst3:m)

*Not given the directing job to Phil Tipet (who is a rubbish director), but to Ed Neumeier instead.

*Included Casper Van Dien (who offered to play the role) as Jonny Rico instead of the main female lead.

*Not used Brenda Strong as a different character too one who died in the first film.

*Made the entire Battle in daylight or over 2days of sunshine.

*had the Mobile Infantry use either the Morita 2 Rifles seen at the end of the first film (http://starshiptroopers.wikia.com/wiki/Morita_II) or the Morita 1 rifles used throughout the first film (http://starshiptroopers.wikia.com/wiki/Morita_Assault_Rifle).

*Not have the M.I. use such primative things such as whisles.

*At least 3 FEDNET clips talking about how battles were going so well etc (whilst on the battlefield it is a different story).

*Have the Outpost shorter and more open to the elements with many areas on it with large machineguns (as in those seen at Whiskey Outpost) posted all over it, and with a system of trenches around the outpost instead of those rectangular concrete slabs.

*The troops seeing occasional TAC fighter/bomber bombardments in the distance.

*More Bug types used from the first film (namely Hoppers and Tankers).

*The Control Bugs looking less human when infecting a human body (something similar to the CGI tv show perhaps?)

*Included a better looking defences than oil drums that explode.

*Given the film a less horror gore feel and more of the Gun-ho campness of the first.

*Had the rescue ship after rescuing survior/s be shown to fly up to Fleet ships in orbit (Sony still had the large model Corvette transport to do this)
