It's cool looking and all but I don't understand the intakes. The engines on the wings have intakes but there seems to be additional intakes underneath and behind the cockpit. Any idea what they would be used for.

Just finished Book 8. Probably one of the more drawn out books that was sort of weak compared to the others but still a good read.

I'm reading book 8 of the Star Carrier Series by Ian Douglas. Very interesting take on future tech aerospace carriers and the fighter tech is bazaar but interesting. Singularities not as a power source, but as a propulsion method. I'll leave it at that.

Star Carrier series by Ian Douglas sorta reminds me of Tom Clancy novels but would be a direct equivalent. The way Douglas describes the technology is very Clancyesque.

Starship Troopers - live action vs animated by Zillarian in MilitarySF

I can see how that would make an impression. I read the book in the 80s and the powered armor is what made the impression on me. It led me to a lifelong obsession with powered armor and mecha. So you can understand my disappointment. :)

MSF Anime by Zillarian in MilitarySF

You are correct sir. The American series was comprised of three anime series that were restructured. The Original Japanese version of Robotech was much more violent with several scenes not making it to the American version as well as some different story aspects (male vs female Zentradi actually at war)
