All right, I'm looking for the title/actors of a sci-fi movie. Moderately certain that is was made SOMEtime in the nineties, likely around the release of Wing Commander.

Movie goes as such:

A group of 'cadets' goes on a training mission with an instructor. While on this mission they are attacked by the 'enemy'. The instructor is killed, and the cadets are forced to fend for themselves against 3-4 bigger ships. Through ingenious means (cant remember them) they slowly take down all the ships, their ship taking more and more damage as time goes on.

Points I DO remember :

2 guys vying for leadership, and a minor fistfight
Woman doctor, rememebring blonde ponytail
The cadet ship is always referred to as a 'corvette' class.
The captain of the force they are fighting is vaguely russian, bald and rather large.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

It could be "Starship Troopers"

Starship Troopers (1997) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120201/)

Not Starship Troopers, Although I do own it, and it Rocks :)

I'm looking for the same movie... I remember that they hide in a comets tail for a long time to prevent themselves from peing picked up by the enemy... thats all I go though :(

It appears to be a failed series pilot from 1996 called Star Command (not to be confused with the superior Jason of Star Command, aka In the Fold.

Purukivel I could kiss you but that would be disturbing for both of us =P Thanks mate, that was what I was looking for.
