Romulan Dawn Misc Items: I've been meaning to release a number of the miscelaneous items from Romulan Dawn in a pack of their own, so here it is! this pack also includes the Romulan Starbase / Battlestation that appears in RD, built by TheAMAZINGNorad.
06.04.05
Unhalsh'atiah Sipparu'unil-Class CR Release: Happy First Contact Day! I'm a little later than I wanted to be in getting this out, but here's the next 2670's ship. The Unhalsh'atiah are an adversary race to the Confed Alliance and the Redovan, from the 2670's. Enjoy!
06.03.17
D'Hatham Warbird Release: Here's one that's been set up as a preview for a little too long, the D'Hatham Warbird! Although the initial balance was to have her replace about 6-7 RBCH's, she's balanced to MSD's Constellation-era specs, about doubling her kick. Enjoy!
06.03.05
Reydovan Imperial Fleet Release: At long last, I've finally finished the Reydovan Absolution-class JN (Jagannath, better known as Juggernaut), and her escort, the Subjegator-class DN.
The creation of the Reydovan ships necessitated a complete rebalance of my previous 2670-Era ships, namely the CA Explorer and Akidaa Sailcraft, however for those that have already installed the two packs a seperate patch can be downloaded here. A guide to the new balance multipliers can also be found here.
06.01.07
Tholian Modular Freighter: Here's one of the support ships from the next release of Romulan Dawn, a Tholian Modular Freighter. Sorry about the lack of ginsu on this one, although each individual cargo pod can be blown off without damaging the hull. ;)
05.11.19
Reydovan Fleet Preview: I figured I'd post some shots of the upcoming Redovan Juggernaut, the HRMS Absolution. A second ship will be included in the pack as well, a DN...
05.11.03
Akidaa Sailcraft Revamp: Wow... it's November 3rd again, PXS is four years old now! My, time flies when you're having fun... :D
To celebrate, I've gotten my revamp of the Akidaa sailcraft ready and released. I've balanced it to the 2670 stats I set out for the Enterprise-K, so it's balanced from a FBB1, as opposed to the Ent-K's FCL. I also only included one version rather than three...
I've also added an Akidaa Tech Primer to explain the basis of some of the ships' technology, and I also put together an Akidaa.ttf font, as seen in the icon on this page. Enjoy!
05.09.01
New Host Site: Sorry to have done 2 redirects in a year, but I found a host with 100 Megs of space and 300 gigs of bandwidth and no on-page ads: DeluXe Host! These guys are a godsend, since my site had long since gotten cramped on Geocities and Angelfire.
I've also posted the U.S.S. Skyrider now that I have the space, and I've started doing a re-write of BSM Amram's SHP File Tutorial...
05.08.24
Enterprise K Release: Here's the release of the Enterprise-K, a Confederated Alliance Explorer. I also have an article filling in the ship's background, although the article is a work in progress and I'll be adding to it. I'll also be developing more ships for this era, so if anyone needs balancing info, just let me know...
05.08.12
Enterprise K Preview: I wasn't too impressed with the appearance of the Enterprise J in Star Trek: Enterprise, basically I felt they could have come up with something more imaginative for something that's supposedly that advanced. So, I stretched my own imagination a little, and came up with a new design...
05.03.06
Sindari Cl'Vangas FI Release: As a bit of a teaser for Romulan Dawn, I figured I'd release the fighter featured in the campaign, the Swarm of Vengance Fighter...
05.01.24
Miranda CL Update: The Miranda's ginsu has been replaced with the newer ginsu I've made for the Constitution/Akula, and I've included a new registry, the U.S.S. Glooscap, NCC-1813...
05.01.01
Happy New Year! You might have noticed the re-direct to a Geocities server, I decided to do this to cut down on costs, since I had to pay for the bandwith on the old Angelfire site, and Geocities offers 3 megs on their free package anyhow. Let me know if you have any trouble, dead links, corrupted zips, etc., and let me apologize in advance if this poses any inconvenience to anyone. Have fun, and Happy New Year!
04.12.23
Klingon Academy AI Trainer! I made use of the KA AI Trainer for an RD mission, and realized that there's no real tutorial for installing and using the script, so I wrote one for you. Hopefully this breathes new life into old battles for everyone, since there's quite a difference between trained and untrained AI. Have fun, and Happy Holidays!
04.12.05
D'Hatham Warbird Preview! Romulan Dawn Part II won't be far off, so I figured I'd post a preview of a spinoff ship I made based on the RSE Katar, the ship central to RD's story. I've left the screenshots silhouetted, since we don't want to give the Katar's appearance away before the release, but you can read my take on Romulan Fleet History (Pt II), and the D'Hatham Warbird, the TMP predesessor to the D'Deridex!
04.11.03
Sol 2063 & 2293 Re-release! What? It's been another year already?! Today is Phoenix Experimental Shipyard's 3rd anniversary, and it seems to be a good occasion to release my redeux of the Sol 2063 System!
04.10.28
Alternate KA Forums! RHCD has his personal forums set up and is ready for Klingon Academy folk to come and post there until Gamespy has fixed their little snafu. It'll require new registration for those who don't have an account there, but for the time being, we have a home. ;)
04.10.20
KA.com Server Snafus... KA.com's been down over a week now, due to server problems. John sent some of the RD members a quick heads-up yesterday, and I thought I'd relay his email to you:
***********
Short story, GameSpy f***ed up again. Almost every site on GameSpy that is based on the dynamic servers is down. So that means any PHP based site is dead in the water. Hopefully back up tonight but thats if all goes well as the site owners will need to make a number of config changes once the servers are live again.
This has been a major disruption, GameSpy sysop must have been smoking something funny :( We won't suffer any data loss, just a bit of extended downtime.
John
***********
04.09.11
Akula Refit Update! I've now applied the updated ginsu from the Connie Refit to the Akula, and added two new ships to the class...
04.09.11
Constitution Refit Update! I've finally gotten around to improving the ginsu model on my Connie Refit, and having started from scratch on that she now has more than double the destroyable surfaces that the first version had, and the nacelles are both destroyable now. I've also done little performance tweakings, such as point reduction, elite officers and crew on the 'A', no more phasrtex line for the 1701-A & 1742, and added a fourth ship with a new name and registry... Enjoy!
04.09.02
Delon Narvasam Mobile Repair Facility Release! Here's the release of the seperate install for the Delon Narvasam Mobile Drydock, as featured in Romulan Dawn. Enjoy!
I've also posted a sneak preview of the Sindari Cl'Vangas Strike Fighter, of which will be featured in the next installment of the Romulan Dawn missions...
04.08.13
Vastagor Ocalla & Vas'Hatham Refit Release! As I mentioned before, I'll be releasing key ships from Romulan Dawn as seperate installs. In this segment I've made the Talon of Fire & Bird of Prey Refits available. Enjoy!
04.08.05
Romulan Dawn Released! Yes, it's here! The one, the only... Romulan Dawn!!!
On behalf of the Romulan Dawn Team, I have to thank everyone for their patience in waiting for us to release. We didn't want this rushed, rather, we wanted to give you a quality production... and I know you're not going to be dissapointed!
I'll be releasing some of the ships featured in Romulan Dawn through the PXS website over the next couple of weeks as seperate installs. You can download the Romulan Dawn Installer for the Part 1 Missions at Romulan Dawn's main website... Enjoy!!!
04.07.18
Romulan Dawn Ship Preview! Here's another sneak peek at a Ship from Romulan Dawn, the Delon Narvasam Mobile Repair Facility!
04.07.09
Coyote ES Update: I've updated the Coyote's ginsu and overall balancing. I've included two new registries (Timberwolf & Wolverine), and the engines' ginsu now allows you to blow the nacelles off if the pylons are destroyed. Enjoy!
04.06.22
Miranda CL Update: I've repaired a number of weapons and ginsu imbalances in my Mirandas, and was able to reduce the point count on the models by a couple of hundred points as well. No graphical changes, other than the engines' ginsu works properly now, and the Reliants' phasers aren't nearly as overpowered as they once were...
04.06.20
Romulan Dawn Webpage! John recently resurected the Romulan Dawn Website, and I figured I'd provide a link to it...
04.06.12
Romulan Dawn Ship Preview! Since my involvement with Romulan Dawn was revealed a little earlier that we were planning, The RD Team and I have decided to give you guys a sneak preview of two of the ships appearing in the upcoming Romulan Dawn Academy Campagin... the Vas'Hatham and Vastagor Ocalla Refits!
04.05.07
Romulan K'T'Inga Battlecruiser! It's a wonder no one asked about this version of the K'T'Inga, but it was a pretty easy retexture to make. Her stats are identical to the ingame ships' specs... but this rendition looks a bit better! Enjoy! :D
04.04.10
Klingon K'T'Inga Battlecruiser Release! She's a ship that hardly requires an introduction, so I'll keep it short: Here's the main release of my K'T'Inga Battlecruiser! Her stats are identical to the ingame ships' specs. I've also updated the B'Rel's textures to reflect the K'T'Inga's new palette. Enjoy!
04.04.02
Klingon K'T'Inga Battlecruiser Sneak Peek! Wow! it's been far too long since I've had a chance to update, and I'm well behind in those ships I mentioned some time ago. One ship that's sat for far too long is my rendition of the K'T'Inga Battlecruiser, and I've posted screenshots of the completed model. All that needs to be done on this one is the ginsu, then some tweaking and I can let her loose: this should only take a week or two.
Although I know I'm going to be asked, I won't be doing a Qu'Onos One version of the K'T'Inga: I neither have the time, nor did I really like the way she looked. However, rest assured that I have a number of other ships in the pipe that'll more than make up for that... ;)
04.01.04
Happy New Year! A little late, I know, but I haven't had a chance to update much as of late, so many belated apologies as well. I've been working on a private project over the last month, although I expect to put a few things out over the next month or so.
My counter recently turned over 10,000 visitors, it's just so wonderful to have so many people enjoy my mods! Thanks everyone, and enjoy 2004!
03.11.09
D'Vas Class Heavy Battlecruiser!: Here's something you all might enjoy, a TMP-era Romulan BCH and another of my original designs. She's based on a plastic scratchbuild I made back in the late '80s out of foamcore and styrene, and inspired by FASA's V-30 Winged Defender CA...
03.11.03
Vastam'al & Temar Mosarum Assault Shuttles!: Today is Phoenix Experimental Shipyard's second anniversary! I was hoping to have my D'Vas class BCH ready for download, however I'm still a little short of having it done. Instead I've decided to release a set of playable shuttles based on the D'Vas's fighter escort: The H-13 & H-22 Assault Shuttles!
If you had asked me two years ago how long I might have been modding for KA, I would have told you about six months. Here we are two years later, and the Klingon Academy community's still growing! Thanks to everyone, you've made modding for this game a joy and a privilege. :D
03.09.24
HMCS MacKenzie & Pearson!: What with all the Ruskie and Yankie retextures happening on the KlingonAcademy.com Forums I figured it was high time the Canuk colours were flown! What started out as a tounge-in-cheek retexture of the Spoilsport in the ol' Red 'n White, I came up with both dress and combat paint jobs for the new Peacekeeper class...
03.09.16
Various Ship Updates...: I've updated the balancing and ginsu for the USS Fox/Coyote, the Klingon B'Rel & the Reflex/Spoilsport. These ships now have corrected ginsu balancing and reduced point counts. The Fox/Reflex now have better balanced stats against ingame ships, and the B'Rel also has some minor visual updates, including lit windows and a properly modeled impulse section...
03.07.31
OCFF Sortrex Release: Here's another of the ships I came up with in the late '80s / early '90s. She's a rogue Orion Pirate Frigate that terrorized the spacelanes from 2287 to 2301... Enjoy!
03.07.24
TOS Romulan Fleet Release!: At long last the TOS Romulan Fleet Pack is done! Included are three new ships, plus revamps of the Original Bird of Prey and the Stormbird. There's also a history file I've composed explaining some of the history of the Romulan Fleet as well. This concludes my TOS era mod series, consisting of seventeen seperatly loadable ship classes from that era in four packs... Now onto TMP and NX!
Special thanks goes to Why? for putting together the docking animations for the Narvastam Ocalla!
03.07.17
TMP Starfleet Update: Some time ago Reaper pointed out that the weapons on my Refit Constitution weren't taking any damage, so I've corrected the bugs in the surface qualities. This also affected my Akula Refit and the Mary D Anderson. The Miranda wasn't affected, as it's weapons have a different setup.
03.07.11
TOS Starfleet Rebalance!: The TOS Starfleet Ships are rebalanced and re-released. Not nearly as many visual tweaks as the Klingon pack, but now they're balanced against each other much better, and I've also re-arranged the weapons on the Avenger and Eagle...
Phoenix Experimental Shipyard's Angelfire account has also been upgraded, so I now have 500% more bandwidth, and most of the popup ads are gone... Enjoy!
03.07.07
DY-100 Update!: Threw together some new textures for the Botany Bay set the other night. While I was at it I swapped the Spooco's warp engines with the Phoenix's, and adjusted the stats to reflect something more like a ship from the NX-Era. They're now sluggish, have weak guns, and blow up really easy. I also found out some time ago that the DY-500 mentioned in the TNG episode "Up The Long Ladder" had an onscreen graphic, and didn't look much like my mod, so I've changed the designation to DY-250...
03.06.30
TOS Klingon Fleet Update!: Over the next couple of weeks I'll be rebalancing all of my TOS ships, and I'll anounce each navy as I finish them. The Klingons are ready, with better ship balancing and some ginsu corrections to boot. The Starfleet Pack will follow soon, with similar changes, and after that I'll finally be able to get my TOS RomPack done!
03.06.21
USS Reliant & Hephaestus Release!: At long last, the Miranda is done! Two ships in this pack, The Reliant and the Hephaestus... Enjoy!
BTW... Happy Solstice!
03.06.15
Akidaa Sailcraft Update!: And now for an update to my Akidaa Sailcraft Fleet... A new Clipper class ship has been added, plus animated textures added to the sails...
03.06.11
Texture Tutorial Update!: At long last I've finaly gotten around to updating my Textures Tutorial, including with it much needed graphics of Lightwave tools and expanding the instruction to include lightmaps, transparancies and texture animations...
03.04.28
XTB Reflex & OMBR Spoilsport Update!: I've also made some long overdue updates to the Reflex and Spoilsport. I've added the forward Transwarp Nacelle that she's supposed to carry, and adjusted surface, damage and weapons problems for both ships...
03.04.23
USS Fox & Coyote Update!: I've made some long overdue updates to the Fox and Coyote, including: An added torp tube, lowered phaser output, lighted hull windows, streamlined nacelles, new nav lights, fixed point lighting, plus other tweaks. Both ships are available in a new download, plus new ingame screenshots...
Plus, I've run into my old pages with pictures of the Fox and Phoenix while still in production...
03.04.12
Stuff I'm Working On : Been a while since I'v had a chance to work on anything, let alone update. Here's a number of ships I'm either working on or have on my "to do" list...
02.11.22
TOS RomPack Screenshots: Figured I might as well spill the beans on what's in store for the 3 undisclosed ships in the TOS RomPack...
02.11.03
Dr. Zephram Cochrane's Phoenix: Anniversary Edition
Phoenix Experimental Shipyards celebrates it's first anniversary! It was a year ago today that I released the Phoenix, so I've done a revamp of the original model that I've wanted to do for quite some time. As well, I've adapted KAAF Thor's RealSol System into a 21st Century Sol System...
02.10.13
Romulan V-11 Stormbird: I finally decided to add a 5th ship to the upcoming TOS Romulan Pack: A V-11 Stormbird, a repainted D-7 in the Romulan Star Navy. I figured I might as well release it as another standalone, kind of a sneak peak at what's to come...
02.09.05
U.S.S. Mary D. Anderson, NCC-1948: A short time ago Joshmaul's grandmother passed away. Last night he contacted me and requested that I outfit a Constitution in her honour...
02.09.03
Here's a brand new TOS Klingon Pack: Due to popular demand I 'bashed together two new TOS Klingon ships, the L-13 Deathstalker CL and the K-29 Reaper DE. They've been repackaged in a new four-ship pack. The Romulan V-8 has been seperated as a standalone download, and will likely be added to a future TOS Rom pack...
02.08.25
Kt'Hyla's new Email: PXS@hotmail.com: Spam. We live with it. We hate it. I've decided to abandon my current Hotmail account (KtHyla@hotmail.com)and make a new one. The daily spam buildup was getting far too stupid for me to bother with, even with the filter SW running at max. I'll still check in on my old account from time to time, but future messages should be sent to PXS@hotmail.com...
02.08.25
Here's an updated TOS Adversaries Pack: The D7 was originally very underpowered. The weapons have been corrected, with heavy disruptors added to balance her out. Also, I've added lighting effects to the windows, something the ships definitely needed...
02.07.03
Doh! The little things one misses... Number 6 pointed out a glitch in the 1701 version of the Connie, in that there were no ginsu surfaces appearing. It was a missing entry in the lws file, so I've thrown together a patch for those that have downloaded the Constitution Refit set on Jul 3rd. Just unzip it into your KA directory and allow it to overwrite. The main download is now fixed and blows up normally... Sorry about that, guys!
02.07.03
Finally, the release of the Constitution Refit! Three loadable ships are available on this one: Enterprise NCC-1701, Enterprise NCC-1701-A & Iroquois NCC-1742. Download all three ships here...
02.07.03
Figured that while I was building the Connie, I might as well 'bash together a replacement Akula...
02.06.20
Just a quick update with new screenshots...
02.05.09
Over the weekend I went to work on the Refit Constitution's textures and found on opening the file in Corel that it was corrupted. This happens from time to time, so I keep backups, but the backup wound up with the same glitch and won't open. Since most of the textures had to be adjusted (alignment, colour, etc) I now have to start them from scratch, putting me back about a month or more on this one. Since so much time's going to have passed by the time I get her released I've decided to release a limited Beta of the work in progress. Very frustrating, but at least I have the original templates and the existing textures to use as guides...
02.04.11
Began to realize I needed TMP Constitution components for a 'bash I needed to do later on, so I figured I'd do what I did with the TOS Connie... See a couple shots of the work in progress here. This one may be a little while in coming, my regular life concerns are taking up more and more of my time lately...
02.03.10
A couple of months ago while looking at screenshots of Minbari_Captian's (then upcoming) BoP I started wondering what it would look like if I were to build it... I started mucking around with LW and eventually came up with this: My own rendition of the Klingon Bird of Prey... I had most of it done by the time M_C had his out, so I decided to delay releasing it so everyone would have some time to enjoy his first.
Also, I've done some tweakings to the Fox (blinking lights, seperatly loadable "Coyote" shp file/textures), and set up a Qbships file with detailed instructions for download...
02.01.28
Due to an apparent traffic problem I've had to set up a mirror for the mod downloads on my old Geocities site. Link to the mirror here... Bear in mind I won't be able to put all of my mods on the mirror due to space limitations, so the TOS Packs will be featured for the moment.
02.01.20
Just a little update: The TOS Constitution 13 (alternate ship names) are now available as stand-alone installs...Grab 'em here...
02.01.13
Here's the release of the TOS Klingon D-7 and Romulan Bird of Prey..., And also the release of the TOS Avenger CL, Saladin DE & Eagle DS rebuilds...
02.01.04
Happy New Year! New screenshots of my TOS Klingon D-7 and Bird of Prey... And also screenies of the TOS Avenger CL, Saladin DE & Eagle DS rebuilds...
01.12.23
Happy Holidays!
Something that's been bugging me for a while is the neglect of the TOS ships that came with KA: They're just not that accurate. So... Swadley5 posts me about re-building the Grand Lady, and that gets me over-imaginitive brain started... And while I was at it I had to put together a shuttlecraft...
Get the re-build of the Constitution and Akula here!
01.12.17
One of the first things found with the DY-100 Was it would self destruct whenever it's bridge was captured. I've added warp definitions to counter this and the updated DY-100 and DY-500 are available here...
It also has better balanced weapons and hull resources...
01.12.10
Saw a gap in the "Pre-TOS Ships to Blow Up" category, so I figured I'd slap Kahn's SS Botany Bay together. You can grab the DY-100 and DY-500 from their Download Page here...
The Fox, Reflex and Spoilsport have had their impulse graphics updated, this corrects something I was doing wrong with the luminosity values. Just a minor visual correction but I figured I'd let you know...
01.12.08
Phoenix version 2.0 is ready! This one includes the cool animation of the engines folding / unfolding by Sector1001, and the TES (Tequila Ejection System... Remember to read the Readme). This, a few minor visual tweaks, and a model for use by the in-game AI...
You can grab Phoenix v2.0 from her Download Page here...
Greetings from the Silo... ;)
01.12.01
Both Akidaa Subspace Sailcraft are now ready for download: ACS Schooner & ACC Cutter... Both ships are included in the same file... Have fun with 'em!
01.11.28
Got the Reflex and the Spoilsport ready for download! D/l pages are at:
Reflex XTB... and
Spoilsport Blockade Runner...
Also, check out pics of my upcoming Akidaa Subspace Sailcraft: ACS Schooner & ACC Cutter...
01.11.15
Got screenshots up of my next mod. The Reflex was a fomer Orion Blockade Runner (aka Spoilsport) that was aquired by Starfleet R&D to be used as a testbed for their FFIX (Full Field Impulse Experiment (2298), hence the third nacelle). She's supposed to be a little smaller than the ST III B'Rel, just to give you an idea of scale.You can see the screenies here. (Aprx. 160k each)
01.11.03
The launch of the Phoenix site! I felt it only fitting that I get the Main Release of Zephram Cochrane's Phoenix ready for the launch of the site. You can grab Phoenix 1.0 from her Download Page here. There will be a version 2.0 later on, since I haven't been able to include a few of the things I wanted to send with her, most notably an animation of the engines folding / unfolding by Sector1001...
01.11.03
With a blessed lack of agonizing hype, Kt'Hyla releases his latest mod, the USS Fox on the KA Community...
Grab her here: USS Fox NCC-7317...

D'Hatham Warbird Release: Here's one that's been set up as a preview for a little too long, the D'Hatham Warbird! Although the initial balance was to have her replace about 6-7 RBCH's, she's balanced to MSD's Constellation-era specs, about doubling her kick. Enjoy!
06.03.05
Reydovan Imperial Fleet Release: At long last, I've finally finished the Reydovan Absolution-class JN (Jagannath, better known as Juggernaut), and her escort, the Subjegator-class DN.
The creation of the Reydovan ships necessitated a complete rebalance of my previous 2670-Era ships, namely the CA Explorer and Akidaa Sailcraft, however for those that have already installed the two packs a seperate patch can be downloaded here. A guide to the new balance multipliers can also be found here.
06.01.07
Tholian Modular Freighter: Here's one of the support ships from the next release of Romulan Dawn, a Tholian Modular Freighter. Sorry about the lack of ginsu on this one, although each individual cargo pod can be blown off without damaging the hull. ;)
05.11.19
Reydovan Fleet Preview: I figured I'd post some shots of the upcoming Redovan Juggernaut, the HRMS Absolution. A second ship will be included in the pack as well, a DN...
05.11.03
Akidaa Sailcraft Revamp: Wow... it's November 3rd again, PXS is four years old now! My, time flies when you're having fun... :D
To celebrate, I've gotten my revamp of the Akidaa sailcraft ready and released. I've balanced it to the 2670 stats I set out for the Enterprise-K, so it's balanced from a FBB1, as opposed to the Ent-K's FCL. I also only included one version rather than three...
I've also added an Akidaa Tech Primer to explain the basis of some of the ships' technology, and I also put together an Akidaa.ttf font, as seen in the icon on this page. Enjoy!
05.09.01
New Host Site: Sorry to have done 2 redirects in a year, but I found a host with 100 Megs of space and 300 gigs of bandwidth and no on-page ads: DeluXe Host! These guys are a godsend, since my site had long since gotten cramped on Geocities and Angelfire.
I've also posted the U.S.S. Skyrider now that I have the space, and I've started doing a re-write of BSM Amram's SHP File Tutorial...
05.08.24
Enterprise K Release: Here's the release of the Enterprise-K, a Confederated Alliance Explorer. I also have an article filling in the ship's background, although the article is a work in progress and I'll be adding to it. I'll also be developing more ships for this era, so if anyone needs balancing info, just let me know...
05.08.12
Enterprise K Preview: I wasn't too impressed with the appearance of the Enterprise J in Star Trek: Enterprise, basically I felt they could have come up with something more imaginative for something that's supposedly that advanced. So, I stretched my own imagination a little, and came up with a new design...
05.03.06
Sindari Cl'Vangas FI Release: As a bit of a teaser for Romulan Dawn, I figured I'd release the fighter featured in the campaign, the Swarm of Vengance Fighter...
05.01.24
Miranda CL Update: The Miranda's ginsu has been replaced with the newer ginsu I've made for the Constitution/Akula, and I've included a new registry, the U.S.S. Glooscap, NCC-1813...
05.01.01
Happy New Year! You might have noticed the re-direct to a Geocities server, I decided to do this to cut down on costs, since I had to pay for the bandwith on the old Angelfire site, and Geocities offers 3 megs on their free package anyhow. Let me know if you have any trouble, dead links, corrupted zips, etc., and let me apologize in advance if this poses any inconvenience to anyone. Have fun, and Happy New Year!
04.12.23
Klingon Academy AI Trainer! I made use of the KA AI Trainer for an RD mission, and realized that there's no real tutorial for installing and using the script, so I wrote one for you. Hopefully this breathes new life into old battles for everyone, since there's quite a difference between trained and untrained AI. Have fun, and Happy Holidays!
04.12.05
D'Hatham Warbird Preview! Romulan Dawn Part II won't be far off, so I figured I'd post a preview of a spinoff ship I made based on the RSE Katar, the ship central to RD's story. I've left the screenshots silhouetted, since we don't want to give the Katar's appearance away before the release, but you can read my take on Romulan Fleet History (Pt II), and the D'Hatham Warbird, the TMP predesessor to the D'Deridex!
04.11.03
Sol 2063 & 2293 Re-release! What? It's been another year already?! Today is Phoenix Experimental Shipyard's 3rd anniversary, and it seems to be a good occasion to release my redeux of the Sol 2063 System!
04.10.28
Alternate KA Forums! RHCD has his personal forums set up and is ready for Klingon Academy folk to come and post there until Gamespy has fixed their little snafu. It'll require new registration for those who don't have an account there, but for the time being, we have a home. ;)
04.10.20
KA.com Server Snafus... KA.com's been down over a week now, due to server problems. John sent some of the RD members a quick heads-up yesterday, and I thought I'd relay his email to you:
***********
Short story, GameSpy f***ed up again. Almost every site on GameSpy that is based on the dynamic servers is down. So that means any PHP based site is dead in the water. Hopefully back up tonight but thats if all goes well as the site owners will need to make a number of config changes once the servers are live again.
This has been a major disruption, GameSpy sysop must have been smoking something funny :( We won't suffer any data loss, just a bit of extended downtime.

Akula Refit Update! I've now applied the updated ginsu from the Connie Refit to the Akula, and added two new ships to the class...
04.09.11
Constitution Refit Update! I've finally gotten around to improving the ginsu model on my Connie Refit, and having started from scratch on that she now has more than double the destroyable surfaces that the first version had, and the nacelles are both destroyable now. I've also done little performance tweakings, such as point reduction, elite officers and crew on the 'A', no more phasrtex line for the 1701-A & 1742, and added a fourth ship with a new name and registry... Enjoy!
04.09.02
Delon Narvasam Mobile Repair Facility Release! Here's the release of the seperate install for the Delon Narvasam Mobile Drydock, as featured in Romulan Dawn. Enjoy!
I've also posted a sneak preview of the Sindari Cl'Vangas Strike Fighter, of which will be featured in the next installment of the Romulan Dawn missions...
04.08.13
Vastagor Ocalla & Vas'Hatham Refit Release! As I mentioned before, I'll be releasing key ships from Romulan Dawn as seperate installs. In this segment I've made the Talon of Fire & Bird of Prey Refits available. Enjoy!
04.08.05
Romulan Dawn Released! Yes, it's here! The one, the only... Romulan Dawn!!!
On behalf of the Romulan Dawn Team, I have to thank everyone for their patience in waiting for us to release. We didn't want this rushed, rather, we wanted to give you a quality production... and I know you're not going to be dissapointed!
I'll be releasing some of the ships featured in Romulan Dawn through the PXS website over the next couple of weeks as seperate installs. You can download the Romulan Dawn Installer for the Part 1 Missions at Romulan Dawn's main website... Enjoy!!!
04.07.18
Romulan Dawn Ship Preview! Here's another sneak peek at a Ship from Romulan Dawn, the Delon Narvasam Mobile Repair Facility!
04.07.09
Coyote ES Update: I've updated the Coyote's ginsu and overall balancing. I've included two new registries (Timberwolf & Wolverine), and the engines' ginsu now allows you to blow the nacelles off if the pylons are destroyed. Enjoy!
04.06.22
Miranda CL Update: I've repaired a number of weapons and ginsu imbalances in my Mirandas, and was able to reduce the point count on the models by a couple of hundred points as well. No graphical changes, other than the engines' ginsu works properly now, and the Reliants' phasers aren't nearly as overpowered as they once were...
04.06.20
Romulan Dawn Webpage! John recently resurected the Romulan Dawn Website, and I figured I'd provide a link to it...
04.06.12
Romulan Dawn Ship Preview! Since my involvement with Romulan Dawn was revealed a little earlier that we were planning, The RD Team and I have decided to give you guys a sneak preview of two of the ships appearing in the upcoming Romulan Dawn Academy Campagin... the Vas'Hatham and Vastagor Ocalla Refits!
04.05.07
Romulan K'T'Inga Battlecruiser! It's a wonder no one asked about this version of the K'T'Inga, but it was a pretty easy retexture to make. Her stats are identical to the ingame ships' specs... but this rendition looks a bit better! Enjoy! :D
04.04.10
Klingon K'T'Inga Battlecruiser Release! She's a ship that hardly requires an introduction, so I'll keep it short: Here's the main release of my K'T'Inga Battlecruiser! Her stats are identical to the ingame ships' specs. I've also updated the B'Rel's textures to reflect the K'T'Inga's new palette. Enjoy!
04.04.02
Klingon K'T'Inga Battlecruiser Sneak Peek! Wow! it's been far too long since I've had a chance to update, and I'm well behind in those ships I mentioned some time ago. One ship that's sat for far too long is my rendition of the K'T'Inga Battlecruiser, and I've posted screenshots of the completed model. All that needs to be done on this one is the ginsu, then some tweaking and I can let her loose: this should only take a week or two.
Although I know I'm going to be asked, I won't be doing a Qu'Onos One version of the K'T'Inga: I neither have the time, nor did I really like the way she looked. However, rest assured that I have a number of other ships in the pipe that'll more than make up for that... ;)
04.01.04
Happy New Year! A little late, I know, but I haven't had a chance to update much as of late, so many belated apologies as well. I've been working on a private project over the last month, although I expect to put a few things out over the next month or so.
My counter recently turned over 10,000 visitors, it's just so wonderful to have so many people enjoy my mods! Thanks everyone, and enjoy 2004!
03.11.09
D'Vas Class Heavy Battlecruiser!: Here's something you all might enjoy, a TMP-era Romulan BCH and another of my original designs. She's based on a plastic scratchbuild I made back in the late '80s out of foamcore and styrene, and inspired by FASA's V-30 Winged Defender CA...
03.11.03
Vastam'al & Temar Mosarum Assault Shuttles!: Today is Phoenix Experimental Shipyard's second anniversary! I was hoping to have my D'Vas class BCH ready for download, however I'm still a little short of having it done. Instead I've decided to release a set of playable shuttles based on the D'Vas's fighter escort: The H-13 & H-22 Assault Shuttles!
If you had asked me two years ago how long I might have been modding for KA, I would have told you about six months. Here we are two years later, and the Klingon Academy community's still growing! Thanks to everyone, you've made modding for this game a joy and a privilege. :D
03.09.24
HMCS MacKenzie & Pearson!: What with all the Ruskie and Yankie retextures happening on the KlingonAcademy.com Forums I figured it was high time the Canuk colours were flown! What started out as a tounge-in-cheek retexture of the Spoilsport in the ol' Red 'n White, I came up with both dress and combat paint jobs for the new Peacekeeper class...
03.09.16
Various Ship Updates...: I've updated the balancing and ginsu for the USS Fox/Coyote, the Klingon B'Rel & the Reflex/Spoilsport. These ships now have corrected ginsu balancing and reduced point counts. The Fox/Reflex now have better balanced stats against ingame ships, and the B'Rel also has some minor visual updates, including lit windows and a properly modeled impulse section...
03.07.31
OCFF Sortrex Release: Here's another of the ships I came up with in the late '80s / early '90s. She's a rogue Orion Pirate Frigate that terrorized the spacelanes from 2287 to 2301... Enjoy!
03.07.24
TOS Romulan Fleet Release!: At long last the TOS Romulan Fleet Pack is done! Included are three new ships, plus revamps of the Original Bird of Prey and the Stormbird. There's also a history file I've composed explaining some of the history of the Romulan Fleet as well. This concludes my TOS era mod series, consisting of seventeen seperatly loadable ship classes from that era in four packs... Now onto TMP and NX!
Special thanks goes to Why? for putting together the docking animations for the Narvastam Ocalla!
03.07.17
TMP Starfleet Update: Some time ago Reaper pointed out that the weapons on my Refit Constitution weren't taking any damage, so I've corrected the bugs in the surface qualities. This also affected my Akula Refit and the Mary D Anderson. The Miranda wasn't affected, as it's weapons have a different setup.
03.07.11
TOS Starfleet Rebalance!: The TOS Starfleet Ships are rebalanced and re-released. Not nearly as many visual tweaks as the Klingon pack, but now they're balanced against each other much better, and I've also re-arranged the weapons on the Avenger and Eagle...
Phoenix Experimental Shipyard's Angelfire account has also been upgraded, so I now have 500% more bandwidth, and most of the popup ads are gone... Enjoy!
03.07.07
DY-100 Update!: Threw together some new textures for the Botany Bay set the other night. While I was at it I swapped the Spooco's warp engines with the Phoenix's, and adjusted the stats to reflect something more like a ship from the NX-Era. They're now sluggish, have weak guns, and blow up really easy. I also found out some time ago that the DY-500 mentioned in the TNG episode "Up The Long Ladder" had an onscreen graphic, and didn't look much like my mod, so I've changed the designation to DY-250...
03.06.30
TOS Klingon Fleet Update!: Over the next couple of weeks I'll be rebalancing all of my TOS ships, and I'll anounce each navy as I finish them. The Klingons are ready, with better ship balancing and some ginsu corrections to boot. The Starfleet Pack will follow soon, with similar changes, and after that I'll finally be able to get my TOS RomPack done!
03.06.21
USS Reliant & Hephaestus Release!: At long last, the Miranda is done! Two ships in this pack, The Reliant and the Hephaestus... Enjoy!
BTW... Happy Solstice!
03.06.15
Akidaa Sailcraft Update!: And now for an update to my Akidaa Sailcraft Fleet... A new Clipper class ship has been added, plus animated textures added to the sails...
03.06.11
Texture Tutorial Update!: At long last I've finaly gotten around to updating my Textures Tutorial, including with it much needed graphics of Lightwave tools and expanding the instruction to include lightmaps, transparancies and texture animations...
03.04.28
XTB Reflex & OMBR Spoilsport Update!: I've also made some long overdue updates to the Reflex and Spoilsport. I've added the forward Transwarp Nacelle that she's supposed to carry, and adjusted surface, damage and weapons problems for both ships...
03.04.23
USS Fox & Coyote Update!: I've made some long overdue updates to the Fox and Coyote, including: An added torp tube, lowered phaser output, lighted hull windows, streamlined nacelles, new nav lights, fixed point lighting, plus other tweaks. Both ships are available in a new download, plus new ingame screenshots...
Plus, I've run into my old pages with pictures of the Fox and Phoenix while still in production...
03.04.12
Stuff I'm Working On : Been a while since I'v had a chance to work on anything, let alone update. Here's a number of ships I'm either working on or have on my "to do" list...
02.11.22
TOS RomPack Screenshots: Figured I might as well spill the beans on what's in store for the 3 undisclosed ships in the TOS RomPack...
02.11.03
Dr. Zephram Cochrane's Phoenix: Anniversary Edition
Phoenix Experimental Shipyards celebrates it's first anniversary! It was a year ago today that I released the Phoenix, so I've done a revamp of the original model that I've wanted to do for quite some time. As well, I've adapted KAAF Thor's RealSol System into a 21st Century Sol System...
02.10.13
Romulan V-11 Stormbird: I finally decided to add a 5th ship to the upcoming TOS Romulan Pack: A V-11 Stormbird, a repainted D-7 in the Romulan Star Navy. I figured I might as well release it as another standalone, kind of a sneak peak at what's to come...
02.09.05
U.S.S. Mary D. Anderson, NCC-1948: A short time ago Joshmaul's grandmother passed away. Last night he contacted me and requested that I outfit a Constitution in her honour...
02.09.03
Here's a brand new TOS Klingon Pack: Due to popular demand I 'bashed together two new TOS Klingon ships, the L-13 Deathstalker CL and the K-29 Reaper DE. They've been repackaged in a new four-ship pack. The Romulan V-8 has been seperated as a standalone download, and will likely be added to a future TOS Rom pack...
02.08.25
Kt'Hyla's new Email: PXS@hotmail.com: Spam. We live with it. We hate it. I've decided to abandon my current Hotmail account (KtHyla@hotmail.com)and make a new one. The daily spam buildup was getting far too stupid for me to bother with, even with the filter SW running at max. I'll still check in on my old account from time to time, but future messages should be sent to PXS@hotmail.com...
02.08.25
Here's an updated TOS Adversaries Pack: The D7 was originally very underpowered. The weapons have been corrected, with heavy disruptors added to balance her out. Also, I've added lighting effects to the windows, something the ships definitely needed...
02.07.03
Doh! The little things one misses... Number 6 pointed out a glitch in the 1701 version of the Connie, in that there were no ginsu surfaces appearing. It was a missing entry in the lws file, so I've thrown together a patch for those that have downloaded the Constitution Refit set on Jul 3rd. Just unzip it into your KA directory and allow it to overwrite. The main download is now fixed and blows up normally... Sorry about that, guys!
02.07.03
Finally, the release of the Constitution Refit! Three loadable ships are available on this one: Enterprise NCC-1701, Enterprise NCC-1701-A & Iroquois NCC-1742. Download all three ships here...
02.07.03
Figured that while I was building the Connie, I might as well 'bash together a replacement Akula...
02.06.20
Just a quick update with new screenshots...
02.05.09
Over the weekend I went to work on the Refit Constitution's textures and found on opening the file in Corel that it was corrupted. This happens from time to time, so I keep backups, but the backup wound up with the same glitch and won't open. Since most of the textures had to be adjusted (alignment, colour, etc) I now have to start them from scratch, putting me back about a month or more on this one. Since so much time's going to have passed by the time I get her released I've decided to release a limited Beta of the work in progress. Very frustrating, but at least I have the original templates and the existing textures to use as guides...
02.04.11
Began to realize I needed TMP Constitution components for a 'bash I needed to do later on, so I figured I'd do what I did with the TOS Connie... See a couple shots of the work in progress here. This one may be a little while in coming, my regular life concerns are taking up more and more of my time lately...
02.03.10
A couple of months ago while looking at screenshots of Minbari_Captian's (then upcoming) BoP I started wondering what it would look like if I were to build it... I started mucking around with LW and eventually came up with this: My own rendition of the Klingon Bird of Prey... I had most of it done by the time M_C had his out, so I decided to delay releasing it so everyone would have some time to enjoy his first.
Also, I've done some tweakings to the Fox (blinking lights, seperatly loadable "Coyote" shp file/textures), and set up a Qbships file with detailed instructions for download...
02.01.28
Due to an apparent traffic problem I've had to set up a mirror for the mod downloads on my old Geocities site. Link to the mirror here... Bear in mind I won't be able to put all of my mods on the mirror due to space limitations, so the TOS Packs will be featured for the moment.
02.01.20
Just a little update: The TOS Constitution 13 (alternate ship names) are now available as stand-alone installs...Grab 'em here...
02.01.13
Here's the release of the TOS Klingon D-7 and Romulan Bird of Prey..., And also the release of the TOS Avenger CL, Saladin DE & Eagle DS rebuilds...
02.01.04
Happy New Year! New screenshots of my TOS Klingon D-7 and Bird of Prey... And also screenies of the TOS Avenger CL, Saladin DE & Eagle DS rebuilds...
01.12.23
Happy Holidays!
Something that's been bugging me for a while is the neglect of the TOS ships that came with KA: They're just not that accurate. So... Swadley5 posts me about re-building the Grand Lady, and that gets me over-imaginitive brain started... And while I was at it I had to put together a shuttlecraft...
Get the re-build of the Constitution and Akula here!
01.12.17
One of the first things found with the DY-100 Was it would self destruct whenever it's bridge was captured. I've added warp definitions to counter this and the updated DY-100 and DY-500 are available here...
It also has better balanced weapons and hull resources...
01.12.10
Saw a gap in the "Pre-TOS Ships to Blow Up" category, so I figured I'd slap Kahn's SS Botany Bay together. You can grab the DY-100 and DY-500 from their Download Page here...
The Fox, Reflex and Spoilsport have had their impulse graphics updated, this corrects something I was doing wrong with the luminosity values. Just a minor visual correction but I figured I'd let you know...
01.12.08
Phoenix version 2.0 is ready! This one includes the cool animation of the engines folding / unfolding by Sector1001, and the TES (Tequila Ejection System... Remember to read the Readme). This, a few minor visual tweaks, and a model for use by the in-game AI...
You can grab Phoenix v2.0 from her Download Page here...
Greetings from the Silo... ;)
01.12.01
Both Akidaa Subspace Sailcraft are now ready for download: ACS Schooner & ACC Cutter... Both ships are included in the same file... Have fun with 'em!
01.11.28
Got the Reflex and the Spoilsport ready for download! D/l pages are at:
Reflex XTB... and
Spoilsport Blockade Runner...
Also, check out pics of my upcoming Akidaa Subspace Sailcraft: ACS Schooner & ACC Cutter...
01.11.15
Got screenshots up of my next mod. The Reflex was a fomer Orion Blockade Runner (aka Spoilsport) that was aquired by Starfleet R&D to be used as a testbed for their FFIX (Full Field Impulse Experiment (2298), hence the third nacelle). She's supposed to be a little smaller than the ST III B'Rel, just to give you an idea of scale.You can see the screenies here. (Aprx. 160k each)
01.11.03
The launch of the Phoenix site! I felt it only fitting that I get the Main Release of Zephram Cochrane's Phoenix ready for the launch of the site. You can grab Phoenix 1.0 from her Download Page here. There will be a version 2.0 later on, since I haven't been able to include a few of the things I wanted to send with her, most notably an animation of the engines folding / unfolding by Sector1001...
01.11.03
With a blessed lack of agonizing hype, Kt'Hyla releases his latest mod, the USS Fox on the KA Community...
Grab her here: USS Fox NCC-7317...

Tholian Modular Freighter: Here's one of the support ships from the next release of Romulan Dawn, a Tholian Modular Freighter. Sorry about the lack of ginsu on this one, although each individual cargo pod can be blown off without damaging the hull. ;)

Reydovan Fleet Preview: I figured I'd post some shots of the upcoming Redovan Juggernaut, the HRMS Absolution. A second ship will be included in the pack as well, a DN...
05.11.03
Akidaa Sailcraft Revamp: Wow... it's November 3rd again, PXS is four years old now! My, time flies when you're having fun... :D
To celebrate, I've gotten my revamp of the Akidaa sailcraft ready and released. I've balanced it to the 2670 stats I set out for the Enterprise-K, so it's balanced from a FBB1, as opposed to the Ent-K's FCL. I also only included one version rather than three...
I've also added an Akidaa Tech Primer to explain the basis of some of the ships' technology, and I also put together an Akidaa.ttf font, as seen in the icon on this page. Enjoy!
05.09.01
New Host Site: Sorry to have done 2 redirects in a year, but I found a host with 100 Megs of space and 300 gigs of bandwidth and no on-page ads: DeluXe Host! These guys are a godsend, since my site had long since gotten cramped on Geocities and Angelfire.
I've also posted the U.S.S. Skyrider now that I have the space, and I've started doing a re-write of BSM Amram's SHP File Tutorial...
05.08.24
Enterprise K Release: Here's the release of the Enterprise-K, a Confederated Alliance Explorer. I also have an article filling in the ship's background, although the article is a work in progress and I'll be adding to it. I'll also be developing more ships for this era, so if anyone needs balancing info, just let me know...
05.08.12
Enterprise K Preview: I wasn't too impressed with the appearance of the Enterprise J in Star Trek: Enterprise, basically I felt they could have come up with something more imaginative for something that's supposedly that advanced. So, I stretched my own imagination a little, and came up with a new design...
05.03.06
Sindari Cl'Vangas FI Release: As a bit of a teaser for Romulan Dawn, I figured I'd release the fighter featured in the campaign, the Swarm of Vengance Fighter...
05.01.24
Miranda CL Update: The Miranda's ginsu has been replaced with the newer ginsu I've made for the Constitution/Akula, and I've included a new registry, the U.S.S. Glooscap, NCC-1813...
05.01.01
Happy New Year! You might have noticed the re-direct to a Geocities server, I decided to do this to cut down on costs, since I had to pay for the bandwith on the old Angelfire site, and Geocities offers 3 megs on their free package anyhow. Let me know if you have any trouble, dead links, corrupted zips, etc., and let me apologize in advance if this poses any inconvenience to anyone. Have fun, and Happy New Year!
04.12.23
Klingon Academy AI Trainer! I made use of the KA AI Trainer for an RD mission, and realized that there's no real tutorial for installing and using the script, so I wrote one for you. Hopefully this breathes new life into old battles for everyone, since there's quite a difference between trained and untrained AI. Have fun, and Happy Holidays!
04.12.05
D'Hatham Warbird Preview! Romulan Dawn Part II won't be far off, so I figured I'd post a preview of a spinoff ship I made based on the RSE Katar, the ship central to RD's story. I've left the screenshots silhouetted, since we don't want to give the Katar's appearance away before the release, but you can read my take on Romulan Fleet History (Pt II), and the D'Hatham Warbird, the TMP predesessor to the D'Deridex!
04.11.03
Sol 2063 & 2293 Re-release! What? It's been another year already?! Today is Phoenix Experimental Shipyard's 3rd anniversary, and it seems to be a good occasion to release my redeux of the Sol 2063 System!
04.10.28
Alternate KA Forums! RHCD has his personal forums set up and is ready for Klingon Academy folk to come and post there until Gamespy has fixed their little snafu. It'll require new registration for those who don't have an account there, but for the time being, we have a home. ;)

Constitution Refit Update! I've finally gotten around to improving the ginsu model on my Connie Refit, and having started from scratch on that she now has more than double the destroyable surfaces that the first version had, and the nacelles are both destroyable now. I've also done little performance tweakings, such as point reduction, elite officers and crew on the 'A', no more phasrtex line for the 1701-A & 1742, and added a fourth ship with a new name and registry... Enjoy!

Delon Narvasam Mobile Repair Facility Release! Here's the release of the seperate install for the Delon Narvasam Mobile Drydock, as featured in Romulan Dawn. Enjoy!

Klingon K'T'Inga Battlecruiser Sneak Peek! Wow! it's been far too long since I've had a chance to update, and I'm well behind in those ships I mentioned some time ago. One ship that's sat for far too long is my rendition of the K'T'Inga Battlecruiser, and I've posted screenshots of the completed model. All that needs to be done on this one is the ginsu, then some tweaking and I can let her loose: this should only take a week or two.
Although I know I'm going to be asked, I won't be doing a Qu'Onos One version of the K'T'Inga: I neither have the time, nor did I really like the way she looked. However, rest assured that I have a number of other ships in the pipe that'll more than make up for that... ;)
04.01.04
Happy New Year! A little late, I know, but I haven't had a chance to update much as of late, so many belated apologies as well. I've been working on a private project over the last month, although I expect to put a few things out over the next month or so.
My counter recently turned over 10,000 visitors, it's just so wonderful to have so many people enjoy my mods! Thanks everyone, and enjoy 2004!
03.11.09
D'Vas Class Heavy Battlecruiser!: Here's something you all might enjoy, a TMP-era Romulan BCH and another of my original designs. She's based on a plastic scratchbuild I made back in the late '80s out of foamcore and styrene, and inspired by FASA's V-30 Winged Defender CA...
03.11.03
Vastam'al & Temar Mosarum Assault Shuttles!: Today is Phoenix Experimental Shipyard's second anniversary! I was hoping to have my D'Vas class BCH ready for download, however I'm still a little short of having it done. Instead I've decided to release a set of playable shuttles based on the D'Vas's fighter escort: The H-13 & H-22 Assault Shuttles!
If you had asked me two years ago how long I might have been modding for KA, I would have told you about six months. Here we are two years later, and the Klingon Academy community's still growing! Thanks to everyone, you've made modding for this game a joy and a privilege. :D
03.09.24
HMCS MacKenzie & Pearson!: What with all the Ruskie and Yankie retextures happening on the KlingonAcademy.com Forums I figured it was high time the Canuk colours were flown! What started out as a tounge-in-cheek retexture of the Spoilsport in the ol' Red 'n White, I came up with both dress and combat paint jobs for the new Peacekeeper class...
03.09.16
Various Ship Updates...: I've updated the balancing and ginsu for the USS Fox/Coyote, the Klingon B'Rel & the Reflex/Spoilsport. These ships now have corrected ginsu balancing and reduced point counts. The Fox/Reflex now have better balanced stats against ingame ships, and the B'Rel also has some minor visual updates, including lit windows and a properly modeled impulse section...
03.07.31
OCFF Sortrex Release: Here's another of the ships I came up with in the late '80s / early '90s. She's a rogue Orion Pirate Frigate that terrorized the spacelanes from 2287 to 2301... Enjoy!
03.07.24
TOS Romulan Fleet Release!: At long last the TOS Romulan Fleet Pack is done! Included are three new ships, plus revamps of the Original Bird of Prey and the Stormbird. There's also a history file I've composed explaining some of the history of the Romulan Fleet as well. This concludes my TOS era mod series, consisting of seventeen seperatly loadable ship classes from that era in four packs... Now onto TMP and NX!
Special thanks goes to Why? for putting together the docking animations for the Narvastam Ocalla!
03.07.17
TMP Starfleet Update: Some time ago Reaper pointed out that the weapons on my Refit Constitution weren't taking any damage, so I've corrected the bugs in the surface qualities. This also affected my Akula Refit and the Mary D Anderson. The Miranda wasn't affected, as it's weapons have a different setup.
03.07.11
TOS Starfleet Rebalance!: The TOS Starfleet Ships are rebalanced and re-released. Not nearly as many visual tweaks as the Klingon pack, but now they're balanced against each other much better, and I've also re-arranged the weapons on the Avenger and Eagle...
Phoenix Experimental Shipyard's Angelfire account has also been upgraded, so I now have 500% more bandwidth, and most of the popup ads are gone... Enjoy!
03.07.07
DY-100 Update!: Threw together some new textures for the Botany Bay set the other night. While I was at it I swapped the Spooco's warp engines with the Phoenix's, and adjusted the stats to reflect something more like a ship from the NX-Era. They're now sluggish, have weak guns, and blow up really easy. I also found out some time ago that the DY-500 mentioned in the TNG episode "Up The Long Ladder" had an onscreen graphic, and didn't look much like my mod, so I've changed the designation to DY-250...
03.06.30
TOS Klingon Fleet Update!: Over the next couple of weeks I'll be rebalancing all of my TOS ships, and I'll anounce each navy as I finish them. The Klingons are ready, with better ship balancing and some ginsu corrections to boot. The Starfleet Pack will follow soon, with similar changes, and after that I'll finally be able to get my TOS RomPack done!
03.06.21
USS Reliant & Hephaestus Release!: At long last, the Miranda is done! Two ships in this pack, The Reliant and the Hephaestus... Enjoy!
BTW... Happy Solstice!
03.06.15
Akidaa Sailcraft Update!: And now for an update to my Akidaa Sailcraft Fleet... A new Clipper class ship has been added, plus animated textures added to the sails...
03.06.11
Texture Tutorial Update!: At long last I've finaly gotten around to updating my Textures Tutorial, including with it much needed graphics of Lightwave tools and expanding the instruction to include lightmaps, transparancies and texture animations...
03.04.28
XTB Reflex & OMBR Spoilsport Update!: I've also made some long overdue updates to the Reflex and Spoilsport. I've added the forward Transwarp Nacelle that she's supposed to carry, and adjusted surface, damage and weapons problems for both ships...
03.04.23
USS Fox & Coyote Update!: I've made some long overdue updates to the Fox and Coyote, including: An added torp tube, lowered phaser output, lighted hull windows, streamlined nacelles, new nav lights, fixed point lighting, plus other tweaks. Both ships are available in a new download, plus new ingame screenshots...
Plus, I've run into my old pages with pictures of the Fox and Phoenix while still in production...
03.04.12
Stuff I'm Working On : Been a while since I'v had a chance to work on anything, let alone update. Here's a number of ships I'm either working on or have on my "to do" list...
02.11.22
TOS RomPack Screenshots: Figured I might as well spill the beans on what's in store for the 3 undisclosed ships in the TOS RomPack...
02.11.03
Dr. Zephram Cochrane's Phoenix: Anniversary Edition
Phoenix Experimental Shipyards celebrates it's first anniversary! It was a year ago today that I released the Phoenix, so I've done a revamp of the original model that I've wanted to do for quite some time. As well, I've adapted KAAF Thor's RealSol System into a 21st Century Sol System...
02.10.13
Romulan V-11 Stormbird: I finally decided to add a 5th ship to the upcoming TOS Romulan Pack: A V-11 Stormbird, a repainted D-7 in the Romulan Star Navy. I figured I might as well release it as another standalone, kind of a sneak peak at what's to come...
02.09.05
U.S.S. Mary D. Anderson, NCC-1948: A short time ago Joshmaul's grandmother passed away. Last night he contacted me and requested that I outfit a Constitution in her honour...
02.09.03
Here's a brand new TOS Klingon Pack: Due to popular demand I 'bashed together two new TOS Klingon ships, the L-13 Deathstalker CL and the K-29 Reaper DE. They've been repackaged in a new four-ship pack. The Romulan V-8 has been seperated as a standalone download, and will likely be added to a future TOS Rom pack...
02.08.25
Kt'Hyla's new Email: PXS@hotmail.com: Spam. We live with it. We hate it. I've decided to abandon my current Hotmail account (KtHyla@hotmail.com)and make a new one. The daily spam buildup was getting far too stupid for me to bother with, even with the filter SW running at max. I'll still check in on my old account from time to time, but future messages should be sent to PXS@hotmail.com...
02.08.25
Here's an updated TOS Adversaries Pack: The D7 was originally very underpowered. The weapons have been corrected, with heavy disruptors added to balance her out. Also, I've added lighting effects to the windows, something the ships definitely needed...
02.07.03
Doh! The little things one misses... Number 6 pointed out a glitch in the 1701 version of the Connie, in that there were no ginsu surfaces appearing. It was a missing entry in the lws file, so I've thrown together a patch for those that have downloaded the Constitution Refit set on Jul 3rd. Just unzip it into your KA directory and allow it to overwrite. The main download is now fixed and blows up normally... Sorry about that, guys!
02.07.03
Finally, the release of the Constitution Refit! Three loadable ships are available on this one: Enterprise NCC-1701, Enterprise NCC-1701-A & Iroquois NCC-1742. Download all three ships here...
02.07.03
Figured that while I was building the Connie, I might as well 'bash together a replacement Akula...
02.06.20
Just a quick update with new screenshots...
02.05.09
Over the weekend I went to work on the Refit Constitution's textures and found on opening the file in Corel that it was corrupted. This happens from time to time, so I keep backups, but the backup wound up with the same glitch and won't open. Since most of the textures had to be adjusted (alignment, colour, etc) I now have to start them from scratch, putting me back about a month or more on this one. Since so much time's going to have passed by the time I get her released I've decided to release a limited Beta of the work in progress. Very frustrating, but at least I have the original templates and the existing textures to use as guides...
02.04.11
Began to realize I needed TMP Constitution components for a 'bash I needed to do later on, so I figured I'd do what I did with the TOS Connie... See a couple shots of the work in progress here. This one may be a little while in coming, my regular life concerns are taking up more and more of my time lately...
02.03.10
A couple of months ago while looking at screenshots of Minbari_Captian's (then upcoming) BoP I started wondering what it would look like if I were to build it... I started mucking around with LW and eventually came up with this: My own rendition of the Klingon Bird of Prey... I had most of it done by the time M_C had his out, so I decided to delay releasing it so everyone would have some time to enjoy his first.
Also, I've done some tweakings to the Fox (blinking lights, seperatly loadable "Coyote" shp file/textures), and set up a Qbships file with detailed instructions for download...
02.01.28
Due to an apparent traffic problem I've had to set up a mirror for the mod downloads on my old Geocities site. Link to the mirror here... Bear in mind I won't be able to put all of my mods on the mirror due to space limitations, so the TOS Packs will be featured for the moment.
02.01.20
Just a little update: The TOS Constitution 13 (alternate ship names) are now available as stand-alone installs...Grab 'em here...
02.01.13
Here's the release of the TOS Klingon D-7 and Romulan Bird of Prey..., And also the release of the TOS Avenger CL, Saladin DE & Eagle DS rebuilds...
02.01.04
Happy New Year! New screenshots of my TOS Klingon D-7 and Bird of Prey... And also screenies of the TOS Avenger CL, Saladin DE & Eagle DS rebuilds...
01.12.23
Happy Holidays!
Something that's been bugging me for a while is the neglect of the TOS ships that came with KA: They're just not that accurate. So... Swadley5 posts me about re-building the Grand Lady, and that gets me over-imaginitive brain started... And while I was at it I had to put together a shuttlecraft...
Get the re-build of the Constitution and Akula here!
01.12.17
One of the first things found with the DY-100 Was it would self destruct whenever it's bridge was captured. I've added warp definitions to counter this and the updated DY-100 and DY-500 are available here...
It also has better balanced weapons and hull resources...
01.12.10
Saw a gap in the "Pre-TOS Ships to Blow Up" category, so I figured I'd slap Kahn's SS Botany Bay together. You can grab the DY-100 and DY-500 from their Download Page here...
The Fox, Reflex and Spoilsport have had their impulse graphics updated, this corrects something I was doing wrong with the luminosity values. Just a minor visual correction but I figured I'd let you know...
01.12.08
Phoenix version 2.0 is ready! This one includes the cool animation of the engines folding / unfolding by Sector1001, and the TES (Tequila Ejection System... Remember to read the Readme). This, a few minor visual tweaks, and a model for use by the in-game AI...
You can grab Phoenix v2.0 from her Download Page here...
Greetings from the Silo... ;)
01.12.01
Both Akidaa Subspace Sailcraft are now ready for download: ACS Schooner & ACC Cutter... Both ships are included in the same file... Have fun with 'em!
01.11.28
Got the Reflex and the Spoilsport ready for download! D/l pages are at:
Reflex XTB... and
Spoilsport Blockade Runner...
Also, check out pics of my upcoming Akidaa Subspace Sailcraft: ACS Schooner & ACC Cutter...
01.11.15
Got screenshots up of my next mod. The Reflex was a fomer Orion Blockade Runner (aka Spoilsport) that was aquired by Starfleet R&D to be used as a testbed for their FFIX (Full Field Impulse Experiment (2298), hence the third nacelle). She's supposed to be a little smaller than the ST III B'Rel, just to give you an idea of scale.You can see the screenies here. (Aprx. 160k each)
01.11.03
The launch of the Phoenix site! I felt it only fitting that I get the Main Release of Zephram Cochrane's Phoenix ready for the launch of the site. You can grab Phoenix 1.0 from her Download Page here. There will be a version 2.0 later on, since I haven't been able to include a few of the things I wanted to send with her, most notably an animation of the engines folding / unfolding by Sector1001...
01.11.03
With a blessed lack of agonizing hype, Kt'Hyla releases his latest mod, the USS Fox on the KA Community...
Grab her here: USS Fox NCC-7317...

Akidaa Sailcraft Revamp: Wow... it's November 3rd again, PXS is four years old now! My, time flies when you're having fun... :D
To celebrate, I've gotten my revamp of the Akidaa sailcraft ready and released. I've balanced it to the 2670 stats I set out for the Enterprise-K, so it's balanced from a FBB1, as opposed to the Ent-K's FCL. I also only included one version rather than three...
I've also added an Akidaa Tech Primer to explain the basis of some of the ships' technology, and I also put together an Akidaa.ttf font, as seen in the icon on this page. Enjoy!
05.09.01
New Host Site: Sorry to have done 2 redirects in a year, but I found a host with 100 Megs of space and 300 gigs of bandwidth and no on-page ads: DeluXe Host! These guys are a godsend, since my site had long since gotten cramped on Geocities and Angelfire.
I've also posted the U.S.S. Skyrider now that I have the space, and I've started doing a re-write of BSM Amram's SHP File Tutorial...
05.08.24
Enterprise K Release: Here's the release of the Enterprise-K, a Confederated Alliance Explorer. I also have an article filling in the ship's background, although the article is a work in progress and I'll be adding to it. I'll also be developing more ships for this era, so if anyone needs balancing info, just let me know...
05.08.12
Enterprise K Preview: I wasn't too impressed with the appearance of the Enterprise J in Star Trek: Enterprise, basically I felt they could have come up with something more imaginative for something that's supposedly that advanced. So, I stretched my own imagination a little, and came up with a new design...
05.03.06
Sindari Cl'Vangas FI Release: As a bit of a teaser for Romulan Dawn, I figured I'd release the fighter featured in the campaign, the Swarm of Vengance Fighter...
05.01.24
Miranda CL Update: The Miranda's ginsu has been replaced with the newer ginsu I've made for the Constitution/Akula, and I've included a new registry, the U.S.S. Glooscap, NCC-1813...
05.01.01
Happy New Year! You might have noticed the re-direct to a Geocities server, I decided to do this to cut down on costs, since I had to pay for the bandwith on the old Angelfire site, and Geocities offers 3 megs on their free package anyhow. Let me know if you have any trouble, dead links, corrupted zips, etc., and let me apologize in advance if this poses any inconvenience to anyone. Have fun, and Happy New Year!
04.12.23
Klingon Academy AI Trainer! I made use of the KA AI Trainer for an RD mission, and realized that there's no real tutorial for installing and using the script, so I wrote one for you. Hopefully this breathes new life into old battles for everyone, since there's quite a difference between trained and untrained AI. Have fun, and Happy Holidays!
04.12.05
D'Hatham Warbird Preview! Romulan Dawn Part II won't be far off, so I figured I'd post a preview of a spinoff ship I made based on the RSE Katar, the ship central to RD's story. I've left the screenshots silhouetted, since we don't want to give the Katar's appearance away before the release, but you can read my take on Romulan Fleet History (Pt II), and the D'Hatham Warbird, the TMP predesessor to the D'Deridex!
04.11.03
Sol 2063 & 2293 Re-release! What? It's been another year already?! Today is Phoenix Experimental Shipyard's 3rd anniversary, and it seems to be a good occasion to release my redeux of the Sol 2063 System!
04.10.28
Alternate KA Forums! RHCD has his personal forums set up and is ready for Klingon Academy folk to come and post there until Gamespy has fixed their little snafu. It'll require new registration for those who don't have an account there, but for the time being, we have a home. ;)
04.10.20
KA.com Server Snafus... KA.com's been down over a week now, due to server problems. John sent some of the RD members a quick heads-up yesterday, and I thought I'd relay his email to you:
***********
Short story, GameSpy f***ed up again. Almost every site on GameSpy that is based on the dynamic servers is down. So that means any PHP based site is dead in the water. Hopefully back up tonight but thats if all goes well as the site owners will need to make a number of config changes once the servers are live again.
This has been a major disruption, GameSpy sysop must have been smoking something funny :( We won't suffer any data loss, just a bit of extended downtime.
John
***********
04.09.11
Akula Refit Update! I've now applied the updated ginsu from the Connie Refit to the Akula, and added two new ships to the class...
04.09.11
Constitution Refit Update! I've finally gotten around to improving the ginsu model on my Connie Refit, and having started from scratch on that she now has more than double the destroyable surfaces that the first version had, and the nacelles are both destroyable now. I've also done little performance tweakings, such as point reduction, elite officers and crew on the 'A', no more phasrtex line for the 1701-A & 1742, and added a fourth ship with a new name and registry... Enjoy!
04.09.02
Delon Narvasam Mobile Repair Facility Release! Here's the release of the seperate install for the Delon Narvasam Mobile Drydock, as featured in Romulan Dawn. Enjoy!
I've also posted a sneak preview of the Sindari Cl'Vangas Strike Fighter, of which will be featured in the next installment of the Romulan Dawn missions...
04.08.13
Vastagor Ocalla & Vas'Hatham Refit Release! As I mentioned before, I'll be releasing key ships from Romulan Dawn as seperate installs. In this segment I've made the Talon of Fire & Bird of Prey Refits available. Enjoy!
04.08.05
Romulan Dawn Released! Yes, it's here! The one, the only... Romulan Dawn!!!
On behalf of the Romulan Dawn Team, I have to thank everyone for their patience in waiting for us to release. We didn't want this rushed, rather, we wanted to give you a quality production... and I know you're not going to be dissapointed!
I'll be releasing some of the ships featured in Romulan Dawn through the PXS website over the next couple of weeks as seperate installs. You can download the Romulan Dawn Installer for the Part 1 Missions at Romulan Dawn's main website... Enjoy!!!
04.07.18
Romulan Dawn Ship Preview! Here's another sneak peek at a Ship from Romulan Dawn, the Delon Narvasam Mobile Repair Facility!
04.07.09
Coyote ES Update: I've updated the Coyote's ginsu and overall balancing. I've included two new registries (Timberwolf & Wolverine), and the engines' ginsu now allows you to blow the nacelles off if the pylons are destroyed. Enjoy!
04.06.22
Miranda CL Update: I've repaired a number of weapons and ginsu imbalances in my Mirandas, and was able to reduce the point count on the models by a couple of hundred points as well. No graphical changes, other than the engines' ginsu works properly now, and the Reliants' phasers aren't nearly as overpowered as they once were...
04.06.20
Romulan Dawn Webpage! John recently resurected the Romulan Dawn Website, and I figured I'd provide a link to it...
04.06.12
Romulan Dawn Ship Preview! Since my involvement with Romulan Dawn was revealed a little earlier that we were planning, The RD Team and I have decided to give you guys a sneak preview of two of the ships appearing in the upcoming Romulan Dawn Academy Campagin... the Vas'Hatham and Vastagor Ocalla Refits!
04.05.07
Romulan K'T'Inga Battlecruiser! It's a wonder no one asked about this version of the K'T'Inga, but it was a pretty easy retexture to make. Her stats are identical to the ingame ships' specs... but this rendition looks a bit better! Enjoy! :D
04.04.10
Klingon K'T'Inga Battlecruiser Release! She's a ship that hardly requires an introduction, so I'll keep it short: Here's the main release of my K'T'Inga Battlecruiser! Her stats are identical to the ingame ships' specs. I've also updated the B'Rel's textures to reflect the K'T'Inga's new palette. Enjoy!
04.04.02
Klingon K'T'Inga Battlecruiser Sneak Peek! Wow! it's been far too long since I've had a chance to update, and I'm well behind in those ships I mentioned some time ago. One ship that's sat for far too long is my rendition of the K'T'Inga Battlecruiser, and I've posted screenshots of the completed model. All that needs to be done on this one is the ginsu, then some tweaking and I can let her loose: this should only take a week or two.
Although I know I'm going to be asked, I won't be doing a Qu'Onos One version of the K'T'Inga: I neither have the time, nor did I really like the way she looked. However, rest assured that I have a number of other ships in the pipe that'll more than make up for that... ;)
04.01.04
Happy New Year! A little late, I know, but I haven't had a chance to update much as of late, so many belated apologies as well. I've been working on a private project over the last month, although I expect to put a few things out over the next month or so.
My counter recently turned over 10,000 visitors, it's just so wonderful to have so many people enjoy my mods! Thanks everyone, and enjoy 2004!
03.11.09
D'Vas Class Heavy Battlecruiser!: Here's something you all might enjoy, a TMP-era Romulan BCH and another of my original designs. She's based on a plastic scratchbuild I made back in the late '80s out of foamcore and styrene, and inspired by FASA's V-30 Winged Defender CA...
03.11.03
Vastam'al & Temar Mosarum Assault Shuttles!: Today is Phoenix Experimental Shipyard's second anniversary! I was hoping to have my D'Vas class BCH ready for download, however I'm still a little short of having it done.

HMCS MacKenzie & Pearson!: What with all the Ruskie and Yankie retextures happening on the KlingonAcademy.com Forums I figured it was high time the Canuk colours were flown! What started out as a tounge-in-cheek retexture of the Spoilsport in the ol' Red 'n White, I came up with both dress and combat paint jobs for the new Peacekeeper class...
03.09.16
Various Ship Updates...: I've updated the balancing and ginsu for the USS Fox/Coyote, the Klingon B'Rel & the Reflex/Spoilsport. These ships now have corrected ginsu balancing and reduced point counts. The Fox/Reflex now have better balanced stats against ingame ships, and the B'Rel also has some minor visual updates, including lit windows and a properly modeled impulse section...
03.07.31
OCFF Sortrex Release: Here's another of the ships I came up with in the late '80s / early '90s. She's a rogue Orion Pirate Frigate that terrorized the spacelanes from 2287 to 2301... Enjoy!

TOS Romulan Fleet Release!: At long last the TOS Romulan Fleet Pack is done! Included are three new ships, plus revamps of the Original Bird of Prey and the Stormbird. There's also a history file I've composed explaining some of the history of the Romulan Fleet as well.

DY-100 Update!: Threw together some new textures for the Botany Bay set the other night. While I was at it I swapped the Spooco's warp engines with the Phoenix's, and adjusted the stats to reflect something more like a ship from the NX-Era. They're now sluggish, have weak guns, and blow up really easy. I also found out some time ago that the DY-500 mentioned in the TNG episode "Up The Long Ladder" had an onscreen graphic, and didn't look much like my mod, so I've changed the designation to DY-250...
03.06.30
TOS Klingon Fleet Update!: Over the next couple of weeks I'll be rebalancing all of my TOS ships, and I'll anounce each navy as I finish them. The Klingons are ready, with better ship balancing and some ginsu corrections to boot. The Starfleet Pack will follow soon, with similar changes, and after that I'll finally be able to get my TOS RomPack done!
03.06.21
USS Reliant & Hephaestus Release!: At long last, the Miranda is done! Two ships in this pack, The Reliant and the Hephaestus... Enjoy!

USS Fox & Coyote Update!: I've made some long overdue updates to the Fox and Coyote, including: An added torp tube, lowered phaser output, lighted hull windows, streamlined nacelles, new nav lights, fixed point lighting, plus other tweaks. Both ships are available in a new download, plus new ingame screenshots...
Plus, I've run into my old pages with pictures of the Fox and Phoenix while still in production...
03.04.12
Stuff I'm Working On : Been a while since I'v had a chance to work on anything, let alone update. Here's a number of ships I'm either working on or have on my "to do" list...
02.11.22
TOS RomPack Screenshots: Figured I might as well spill the beans on what's in store for the 3 undisclosed ships in the TOS RomPack...
02.11.03
Dr. Zephram Cochrane's Phoenix: Anniversary Edition
Phoenix Experimental Shipyards celebrates it's first anniversary! It was a year ago today that I released the Phoenix, so I've done a revamp of the original model that I've wanted to do for quite some time. As well, I've adapted KAAF Thor's RealSol System into a 21st Century Sol System...
02.10.13
Romulan V-11 Stormbird: I finally decided to add a 5th ship to the upcoming TOS Romulan Pack: A V-11 Stormbird, a repainted D-7 in the Romulan Star Navy. I figured I might as well release it as another standalone, kind of a sneak peak at what's to come...
02.09.05
U.S.S. Mary D. Anderson, NCC-1948: A short time ago Joshmaul's grandmother passed away. Last night he contacted me and requested that I outfit a Constitution in her honour...
02.09.03
Here's a brand new TOS Klingon Pack: Due to popular demand I 'bashed together two new TOS Klingon ships, the L-13 Deathstalker CL and the K-29 Reaper DE. They've been repackaged in a new four-ship pack. The Romulan V-8 has been seperated as a standalone download, and will likely be added to a future TOS Rom pack...
02.08.25
Kt'Hyla's new Email: PXS@hotmail.com: Spam. We live with it. We hate it. I've decided to abandon my current Hotmail account (KtHyla@hotmail.com)and make a new one. The daily spam buildup was getting far too stupid for me to bother with, even with the filter SW running at max. I'll still check in on my old account from time to time, but future messages should be sent to PXS@hotmail.com...
02.08.25
Here's an updated TOS Adversaries Pack: The D7 was originally very underpowered. The weapons have been corrected, with heavy disruptors added to balance her out. Also, I've added lighting effects to the windows, something the ships definitely needed...
02.07.03
Doh! The little things one misses... Number 6 pointed out a glitch in the 1701 version of the Connie, in that there were no ginsu surfaces appearing. It was a missing entry in the lws file, so I've thrown together a patch for those that have downloaded the Constitution Refit set on Jul 3rd. Just unzip it into your KA directory and allow it to overwrite. The main download is now fixed and blows up normally... Sorry about that, guys!
02.07.03
Finally, the release of the Constitution Refit! Three loadable ships are available on this one: Enterprise NCC-1701, Enterprise NCC-1701-A & Iroquois NCC-1742. Download all three ships here...
02.07.03
Figured that while I was building the Connie, I might as well 'bash together a replacement Akula...
02.06.20
Just a quick update with new screenshots...
02.05.09
Over the weekend I went to work on the Refit Constitution's textures and found on opening the file in Corel that it was corrupted. This happens from time to time, so I keep backups, but the backup wound up with the same glitch and won't open. Since most of the textures had to be adjusted (alignment, colour, etc) I now have to start them from scratch, putting me back about a month or more on this one. Since so much time's going to have passed by the time I get her released I've decided to release a limited Beta of the work in progress. Very frustrating, but at least I have the original templates and the existing textures to use as guides...
02.04.11
Began to realize I needed TMP Constitution components for a 'bash I needed to do later on, so I figured I'd do what I did with the TOS Connie... See a couple shots of the work in progress here. This one may be a little while in coming, my regular life concerns are taking up more and more of my time lately...
02.03.10
A couple of months ago while looking at screenshots of Minbari_Captian's (then upcoming) BoP I started wondering what it would look like if I were to build it... I started mucking around with LW and eventually came up with this: My own rendition of the Klingon Bird of Prey... I had most of it done by the time M_C had his out, so I decided to delay releasing it so everyone would have some time to enjoy his first.
Also, I've done some tweakings to the Fox (blinking lights, seperatly loadable "Coyote" shp file/textures), and set up a Qbships file with detailed instructions for download...
02.01.28
Due to an apparent traffic problem I've had to set up a mirror for the mod downloads on my old Geocities site. Link to the mirror here... Bear in mind I won't be able to put all of my mods on the mirror due to space limitations, so the TOS Packs will be featured for the moment.
02.01.20
Just a little update: The TOS Constitution 13 (alternate ship names) are now available as stand-alone installs...Grab 'em here...
02.01.13
Here's the release of the TOS Klingon D-7 and Romulan Bird of Prey..., And also the release of the TOS Avenger CL, Saladin DE & Eagle DS rebuilds...
02.01.04
Happy New Year! New screenshots of my TOS Klingon D-7 and Bird of Prey... And also screenies of the TOS Avenger CL, Saladin DE & Eagle DS rebuilds...
01.12.23
Happy Holidays!
Something that's been bugging me for a while is the neglect of the TOS ships that came with KA: They're just not that accurate. So... Swadley5 posts me about re-building the Grand Lady, and that gets me over-imaginitive brain started... And while I was at it I had to put together a shuttlecraft...
Get the re-build of the Constitution and Akula here!
01.12.17
One of the first things found with the DY-100 Was it would self destruct whenever it's bridge was captured. I've added warp definitions to counter this and the updated DY-100 and DY-500 are available here...
It also has better balanced weapons and hull resources...
01.12.10
Saw a gap in the "Pre-TOS Ships to Blow Up" category, so I figured I'd slap Kahn's SS Botany Bay together. You can grab the DY-100 and DY-500 from their Download Page here...
The Fox, Reflex and Spoilsport have had their impulse graphics updated, this corrects something I was doing wrong with the luminosity values. Just a minor visual correction but I figured I'd let you know...
01.12.08
Phoenix version 2.0 is ready! This one includes the cool animation of the engines folding / unfolding by Sector1001, and the TES (Tequila Ejection System... Remember to read the Readme). This, a few minor visual tweaks, and a model for use by the in-game AI...
You can grab Phoenix v2.0 from her Download Page here...
Greetings from the Silo... ;)
01.12.01
Both Akidaa Subspace Sailcraft are now ready for download: ACS Schooner & ACC Cutter... Both ships are included in the same file... Have fun with 'em!
01.11.28
Got the Reflex and the Spoilsport ready for download! D/l pages are at:
Reflex XTB... and
Spoilsport Blockade Runner...
Also, check out pics of my upcoming Akidaa Subspace Sailcraft: ACS Schooner & ACC Cutter...
01.11.15
Got screenshots up of my next mod. The Reflex was a fomer Orion Blockade Runner (aka Spoilsport) that was aquired by Starfleet R&D to be used as a testbed for their FFIX (Full Field Impulse Experiment (2298), hence the third nacelle). She's supposed to be a little smaller than the ST III B'Rel, just to give you an idea of scale.You can see the screenies here. (Aprx. 160k each)
01.11.03
The launch of the Phoenix site! I felt it only fitting that I get the Main Release of Zephram Cochrane's Phoenix ready for the launch of the site. You can grab Phoenix 1.0 from her Download Page here. There will be a version 2.0 later on, since I haven't been able to include a few of the things I wanted to send with her, most notably an animation of the engines folding / unfolding by Sector1001...
01.11.03
With a blessed lack of agonizing hype, Kt'Hyla releases his latest mod, the USS Fox on the KA Community...
Grab her here: USS Fox NCC-7317...

Enterprise K Release: Here's the release of the Enterprise-K, a Confederated Alliance Explorer. I also have an article filling in the ship's background, although the article is a work in progress and I'll be adding to it. I'll also be developing more ships for this era, so if anyone needs balancing info, just let me know...
05.08.12
Enterprise K Preview: I wasn't too impressed with the appearance of the Enterprise J in Star Trek: Enterprise, basically I felt they could have come up with something more imaginative for something that's supposedly that advanced. So, I stretched my own imagination a little, and came up with a new design...
05.03.06
Sindari Cl'Vangas FI Release: As a bit of a teaser for Romulan Dawn, I figured I'd release the fighter featured in the campaign, the Swarm of Vengance Fighter...
05.01.24
Miranda CL Update: The Miranda's ginsu has been replaced with the newer ginsu I've made for the Constitution/Akula, and I've included a new registry, the U.S.S. Glooscap, NCC-1813...
05.01.01
Happy New Year! You might have noticed the re-direct to a Geocities server, I decided to do this to cut down on costs, since I had to pay for the bandwith on the old Angelfire site, and Geocities offers 3 megs on their free package anyhow. Let me know if you have any trouble, dead links, corrupted zips, etc., and let me apologize in advance if this poses any inconvenience to anyone. Have fun, and Happy New Year!
04.12.23
Klingon Academy AI Trainer! I made use of the KA AI Trainer for an RD mission, and realized that there's no real tutorial for installing and using the script, so I wrote one for you. Hopefully this breathes new life into old battles for everyone, since there's quite a difference between trained and untrained AI. Have fun, and Happy Holidays!
04.12.05
D'Hatham Warbird Preview! Romulan Dawn Part II won't be far off, so I figured I'd post a preview of a spinoff ship I made based on the RSE Katar, the ship central to RD's story. I've left the screenshots silhouetted, since we don't want to give the Katar's appearance away before the release, but you can read my take on Romulan Fleet History (Pt II), and the D'Hatham Warbird, the TMP predesessor to the D'Deridex!
04.11.03
Sol 2063 & 2293 Re-release! What? It's been another year already?! Today is Phoenix Experimental Shipyard's 3rd anniversary, and it seems to be a good occasion to release my redeux of the Sol 2063 System!
04.10.28
Alternate KA Forums! RHCD has his personal forums set up and is ready for Klingon Academy folk to come and post there until Gamespy has fixed their little snafu. It'll require new registration for those who don't have an account there, but for the time being, we have a home. ;)
04.10.20
KA.com Server Snafus... KA.com's been down over a week now, due to server problems. John sent some of the RD members a quick heads-up yesterday, and I thought I'd relay his email to you:
***********
Short story, GameSpy f***ed up again. Almost every site on GameSpy that is based on the dynamic servers is down. So that means any PHP based site is dead in the water. Hopefully back up tonight but thats if all goes well as the site owners will need to make a number of config changes once the servers are live again.
This has been a major disruption, GameSpy sysop must have been smoking something funny :( We won't suffer any data loss, just a bit of extended downtime.
John

04.09.11
Akula Refit Update! I've now applied the updated ginsu from the Connie Refit to the Akula, and added two new ships to the class...
04.09.11
Constitution Refit Update! I've finally gotten around to improving the ginsu model on my Connie Refit, and having started from scratch on that she now has more than double the destroyable surfaces that the first version had, and the nacelles are both destroyable now. I've also done little performance tweakings, such as point reduction, elite officers and crew on the 'A', no more phasrtex line for the 1701-A & 1742, and added a fourth ship with a new name and registry... Enjoy!
04.09.02
Delon Narvasam Mobile Repair Facility Release! Here's the release of the seperate install for the Delon Narvasam Mobile Drydock, as featured in Romulan Dawn. Enjoy!
I've also posted a sneak preview of the Sindari Cl'Vangas Strike Fighter, of which will be featured in the next installment of the Romulan Dawn missions...
04.08.13
Vastagor Ocalla & Vas'Hatham Refit Release! As I mentioned before, I'll be releasing key ships from Romulan Dawn as seperate installs. In this segment I've made the Talon of Fire & Bird of Prey Refits available. Enjoy!
04.08.05
Romulan Dawn Released! Yes, it's here! The one, the only... Romulan Dawn!!!
On behalf of the Romulan Dawn Team, I have to thank everyone for their patience in waiting for us to release. We didn't want this rushed, rather, we wanted to give you a quality production... and I know you're not going to be dissapointed!
I'll be releasing some of the ships featured in Romulan Dawn through the PXS website over the next couple of weeks as seperate installs. You can download the Romulan Dawn Installer for the Part 1 Missions at Romulan Dawn's main website... Enjoy!!!
04.07.18
Romulan Dawn Ship Preview! Here's another sneak peek at a Ship from Romulan Dawn, the Delon Narvasam Mobile Repair Facility!
04.07.09
Coyote ES Update: I've updated the Coyote's ginsu and overall balancing. I've included two new registries (Timberwolf & Wolverine), and the engines' ginsu now allows you to blow the nacelles off if the pylons are destroyed. Enjoy!
04.06.22
Miranda CL Update: I've repaired a number of weapons and ginsu imbalances in my Mirandas, and was able to reduce the point count on the models by a couple of hundred points as well. No graphical changes, other than the engines' ginsu works properly now, and the Reliants' phasers aren't nearly as overpowered as they once were...
04.06.20
Romulan Dawn Webpage! John recently resurected the Romulan Dawn Website, and I figured I'd provide a link to it...
04.06.12
Romulan Dawn Ship Preview! Since my involvement with Romulan Dawn was revealed a little earlier that we were planning, The RD Team and I have decided to give you guys a sneak preview of two of the ships appearing in the upcoming Romulan Dawn Academy Campagin... the Vas'Hatham and Vastagor Ocalla Refits!
04.05.07
Romulan K'T'Inga Battlecruiser! It's a wonder no one asked about this version of the K'T'Inga, but it was a pretty easy retexture to make. Her stats are identical to the ingame ships' specs... but this rendition looks a bit better! Enjoy! :D
04.04.10
Klingon K'T'Inga Battlecruiser Release! She's a ship that hardly requires an introduction, so I'll keep it short: Here's the main release of my K'T'Inga Battlecruiser! Her stats are identical to the ingame ships' specs. I've also updated the B'Rel's textures to reflect the K'T'Inga's new palette. Enjoy!
04.04.02
Klingon K'T'Inga Battlecruiser Sneak Peek! Wow! it's been far too long since I've had a chance to update, and I'm well behind in those ships I mentioned some time ago. One ship that's sat for far too long is my rendition of the K'T'Inga Battlecruiser, and I've posted screenshots of the completed model. All that needs to be done on this one is the ginsu, then some tweaking and I can let her loose: this should only take a week or two.
Although I know I'm going to be asked, I won't be doing a Qu'Onos One version of the K'T'Inga: I neither have the time, nor did I really like the way she looked. However, rest assured that I have a number of other ships in the pipe that'll more than make up for that... ;)
04.01.04
Happy New Year! A little late, I know, but I haven't had a chance to update much as of late, so many belated apologies as well. I've been working on a private project over the last month, although I expect to put a few things out over the next month or so.
My counter recently turned over 10,000 visitors, it's just so wonderful to have so many people enjoy my mods! Thanks everyone, and enjoy 2004!
03.11.09
D'Vas Class Heavy Battlecruiser!: Here's something you all might enjoy, a TMP-era Romulan BCH and another of my original designs. She's based on a plastic scratchbuild I made back in the late '80s out of foamcore and styrene, and inspired by FASA's V-30 Winged Defender CA...
03.11.03
Vastam'al & Temar Mosarum Assault Shuttles!: Today is Phoenix Experimental Shipyard's second anniversary! I was hoping to have my D'Vas class BCH ready for download, however I'm still a little short of having it done. Instead I've decided to release a set of playable shuttles based on the D'Vas's fighter escort: The H-13 & H-22 Assault Shuttles!
If you had asked me two years ago how long I might have been modding for KA, I would have told you about six months. Here we are two years later, and the Klingon Academy community's still growing! Thanks to everyone, you've made modding for this game a joy and a privilege. :D
03.09.24
HMCS MacKenzie & Pearson!: What with all the Ruskie and Yankie retextures happening on the KlingonAcademy.com Forums I figured it was high time the Canuk colours were flown! What started out as a tounge-in-cheek retexture of the Spoilsport in the ol' Red 'n White, I came up with both dress and combat paint jobs for the new Peacekeeper class...
03.09.16
Various Ship Updates...: I've updated the balancing and ginsu for the USS Fox/Coyote, the Klingon B'Rel & the Reflex/Spoilsport. These ships now have corrected ginsu balancing and reduced point counts. The Fox/Reflex now have better balanced stats against ingame ships, and the B'Rel also has some minor visual updates, including lit windows and a properly modeled impulse section...
03.07.31
OCFF Sortrex Release: Here's another of the ships I came up with in the late '80s / early '90s. She's a rogue Orion Pirate Frigate that terrorized the spacelanes from 2287 to 2301... Enjoy!
03.07.24
TOS Romulan Fleet Release!: At long last the TOS Romulan Fleet Pack is done! Included are three new ships, plus revamps of the Original Bird of Prey and the Stormbird. There's also a history file I've composed explaining some of the history of the Romulan Fleet as well. This concludes my TOS era mod series, consisting of seventeen seperatly loadable ship classes from that era in four packs... Now onto TMP and NX!
Special thanks goes to Why? for putting together the docking animations for the Narvastam Ocalla!
03.07.17
TMP Starfleet Update: Some time ago Reaper pointed out that the weapons on my Refit Constitution weren't taking any damage, so I've corrected the bugs in the surface qualities. This also affected my Akula Refit and the Mary D Anderson. The Miranda wasn't affected, as it's weapons have a different setup.
03.07.11
TOS Starfleet Rebalance!: The TOS Starfleet Ships are rebalanced and re-released. Not nearly as many visual tweaks as the Klingon pack, but now they're balanced against each other much better, and I've also re-arranged the weapons on the Avenger and Eagle...
Phoenix Experimental Shipyard's Angelfire account has also been upgraded, so I now have 500% more bandwidth, and most of the popup ads are gone... Enjoy!
03.07.07
DY-100 Update!: Threw together some new textures for the Botany Bay set the other night. While I was at it I swapped the Spooco's warp engines with the Phoenix's, and adjusted the stats to reflect something more like a ship from the NX-Era. They're now sluggish, have weak guns, and blow up really easy. I also found out some time ago that the DY-500 mentioned in the TNG episode "Up The Long Ladder" had an onscreen graphic, and didn't look much like my mod, so I've changed the designation to DY-250...
03.06.30
TOS Klingon Fleet Update!: Over the next couple of weeks I'll be rebalancing all of my TOS ships, and I'll anounce each navy as I finish them. The Klingons are ready, with better ship balancing and some ginsu corrections to boot. The Starfleet Pack will follow soon, with similar changes, and after that I'll finally be able to get my TOS RomPack done!
03.06.21
USS Reliant & Hephaestus Release!: At long last, the Miranda is done! Two ships in this pack, The Reliant and the Hephaestus... Enjoy!
BTW... Happy Solstice!
03.06.15
Akidaa Sailcraft Update!: And now for an update to my Akidaa Sailcraft Fleet... A new Clipper class ship has been added, plus animated textures added to the sails...
03.06.11
Texture Tutorial Update!: At long last I've finaly gotten around to updating my Textures Tutorial, including with it much needed graphics of Lightwave tools and expanding the instruction to include lightmaps, transparancies and texture animations...
03.04.28
XTB Reflex & OMBR Spoilsport Update!: I've also made some long overdue updates to the Reflex and Spoilsport. I've added the forward Transwarp Nacelle that she's supposed to carry, and adjusted surface, damage and weapons problems for both ships...
03.04.23
USS Fox & Coyote Update!: I've made some long overdue updates to the Fox and Coyote, including: An added torp tube, lowered phaser output, lighted hull windows, streamlined nacelles, new nav lights, fixed point lighting, plus other tweaks. Both ships are available in a new download, plus new ingame screenshots...
Plus, I've run into my old pages with pictures of the Fox and Phoenix while still in production...
03.04.12
Stuff I'm Working On : Been a while since I'v had a chance to work on anything, let alone update. Here's a number of ships I'm either working on or have on my "to do" list...

Phoenix version 2.0 is ready! This one includes the cool animation of the engines folding / unfolding by Sector1001, and the TES (Tequila Ejection System... Remember to read the Readme). This, a few minor visual tweaks, and a model for use by the in-game AI...
You can grab Phoenix v2.0 from her Download Page here...
Greetings from the Silo... ;)
01.12.01
Both Akidaa Subspace Sailcraft are now ready for download: ACS Schooner & ACC Cutter... Both ships are included in the same file... Have fun with 'em!
01.11.28
Got the Reflex and the Spoilsport ready for download! D/l pages are at:
Reflex XTB... and
Spoilsport Blockade Runner...
Also, check out pics of my upcoming Akidaa Subspace Sailcraft: ACS Schooner & ACC Cutter...
01.11.15
Got screenshots up of my next mod. The Reflex was a fomer Orion Blockade Runner (aka Spoilsport) that was aquired by Starfleet R&D to be used as a testbed for their FFIX (Full Field Impulse Experiment (2298), hence the third nacelle). She's supposed to be a little smaller than the ST III B'Rel, just to give you an idea of scale.You can see the screenies here. (Aprx. 160k each)
01.11.03
The launch of the Phoenix site! I felt it only fitting that I get the Main Release of Zephram Cochrane's Phoenix ready for the launch of the site. You can grab Phoenix 1.0 from her Download Page here. There will be a version 2.0 later on, since I haven't been able to include a few of the things I wanted to send with her, most notably an animation of the engines folding / unfolding by Sector1001...
01.11.03
With a blessed lack of agonizing hype, Kt'Hyla releases his latest mod, the USS Fox on the KA Community...
Grab her here: USS Fox NCC-7317...

Sindari Cl'Vangas FI Release: As a bit of a teaser for Romulan Dawn, I figured I'd release the fighter featured in the campaign, the Swarm of Vengance Fighter...
05.01.24
Miranda CL Update: The Miranda's ginsu has been replaced with the newer ginsu I've made for the Constitution/Akula, and I've included a new registry, the U.S.S. Glooscap, NCC-1813...

Happy New Year! You might have noticed the re-direct to a Geocities server, I decided to do this to cut down on costs, since I had to pay for the bandwith on the old Angelfire site, and Geocities offers 3 megs on their free package anyhow. Let me know if you have any trouble, dead links, corrupted zips, etc., and let me apologize in advance if this poses any inconvenience to anyone. Have fun, and Happy New Year!
04.12.23
Klingon Academy AI Trainer! I made use of the KA AI Trainer for an RD mission, and realized that there's no real tutorial for installing and using the script, so I wrote one for you. Hopefully this breathes new life into old battles for everyone, since there's quite a difference between trained and untrained AI. Have fun, and Happy Holidays!
04.12.05
D'Hatham Warbird Preview! Romulan Dawn Part II won't be far off, so I figured I'd post a preview of a spinoff ship I made based on the RSE Katar, the ship central to RD's story. I've left the screenshots silhouetted, since we don't want to give the Katar's appearance away before the release, but you can read my take on Romulan Fleet History (Pt II), and the D'Hatham Warbird, the TMP predesessor to the D'Deridex!
04.11.03
Sol 2063 & 2293 Re-release! What? It's been another year already?! Today is Phoenix Experimental Shipyard's 3rd anniversary, and it seems to be a good occasion to release my redeux of the Sol 2063 System!
04.10.28
Alternate KA Forums! RHCD has his personal forums set up and is ready for Klingon Academy folk to come and post there until Gamespy has fixed their little snafu. It'll require new registration for those who don't have an account there, but for the time being, we have a home. ;)
04.10.20
KA.com Server Snafus... KA.com's been down over a week now, due to server problems. John sent some of the RD members a quick heads-up yesterday, and I thought I'd relay his email to you:
***********
Short story, GameSpy f***ed up again. Almost every site on GameSpy that is based on the dynamic servers is down. So that means any PHP based site is dead in the water. Hopefully back up tonight but thats if all goes well as the site owners will need to make a number of config changes once the servers are live again.
This has been a major disruption, GameSpy sysop must have been smoking something funny :( We won't suffer any data loss, just a bit of extended downtime.

04.09.11
Akula Refit Update! I've now applied the updated ginsu from the Connie Refit to the Akula, and added two new ships to the class...
04.09.11
Constitution Refit Update! I've finally gotten around to improving the ginsu model on my Connie Refit, and having started from scratch on that she now has more than double the destroyable surfaces that the first version had, and the nacelles are both destroyable now. I've also done little performance tweakings, such as point reduction, elite officers and crew on the 'A', no more phasrtex line for the 1701-A & 1742, and added a fourth ship with a new name and registry... Enjoy!
04.09.02
Delon Narvasam Mobile Repair Facility Release! Here's the release of the seperate install for the Delon Narvasam Mobile Drydock, as featured in Romulan Dawn. Enjoy!
I've also posted a sneak preview of the Sindari Cl'Vangas Strike Fighter, of which will be featured in the next installment of the Romulan Dawn missions...
04.08.13
Vastagor Ocalla & Vas'Hatham Refit Release! As I mentioned before, I'll be releasing key ships from Romulan Dawn as seperate installs. In this segment I've made the Talon of Fire & Bird of Prey Refits available. Enjoy!
04.08.05
Romulan Dawn Released! Yes, it's here! The one, the only... Romulan Dawn!!!
On behalf of the Romulan Dawn Team, I have to thank everyone for their patience in waiting for us to release. We didn't want this rushed, rather, we wanted to give you a quality production... and I know you're not going to be dissapointed!
I'll be releasing some of the ships featured in Romulan Dawn through the PXS website over the next couple of weeks as seperate installs. You can download the Romulan Dawn Installer for the Part 1 Missions at Romulan Dawn's main website... Enjoy!!!
04.07.18
Romulan Dawn Ship Preview! Here's another sneak peek at a Ship from Romulan Dawn, the Delon Narvasam Mobile Repair Facility!
04.07.09
Coyote ES Update: I've updated the Coyote's ginsu and overall balancing. I've included two new registries (Timberwolf & Wolverine), and the engines' ginsu now allows you to blow the nacelles off if the pylons are destroyed. Enjoy!
04.06.22
Miranda CL Update: I've repaired a number of weapons and ginsu imbalances in my Mirandas, and was able to reduce the point count on the models by a couple of hundred points as well. No graphical changes, other than the engines' ginsu works properly now, and the Reliants' phasers aren't nearly as overpowered as they once were...
04.06.20
Romulan Dawn Webpage! John recently resurected the Romulan Dawn Website, and I figured I'd provide a link to it...
04.06.12
Romulan Dawn Ship Preview! Since my involvement with Romulan Dawn was revealed a little earlier that we were planning, The RD Team and I have decided to give you guys a sneak preview of two of the ships appearing in the upcoming Romulan Dawn Academy Campagin... the Vas'Hatham and Vastagor Ocalla Refits!
04.05.07
Romulan K'T'Inga Battlecruiser! It's a wonder no one asked about this version of the K'T'Inga, but it was a pretty easy retexture to make. Her stats are identical to the ingame ships' specs... but this rendition looks a bit better! Enjoy! :D
04.04.10
Klingon K'T'Inga Battlecruiser Release! She's a ship that hardly requires an introduction, so I'll keep it short: Here's the main release of my K'T'Inga Battlecruiser! Her stats are identical to the ingame ships' specs. I've also updated the B'Rel's textures to reflect the K'T'Inga's new palette. Enjoy!
04.04.02
Klingon K'T'Inga Battlecruiser Sneak Peek! Wow! it's been far too long since I've had a chance to update, and I'm well behind in those ships I mentioned some time ago. One ship that's sat for far too long is my rendition of the K'T'Inga Battlecruiser, and I've posted screenshots of the completed model. All that needs to be done on this one is the ginsu, then some tweaking and I can let her loose: this should only take a week or two.
Although I know I'm going to be asked, I won't be doing a Qu'Onos One version of the K'T'Inga: I neither have the time, nor did I really like the way she looked. However, rest assured that I have a number of other ships in the pipe that'll more than make up for that... ;)
04.01.04
Happy New Year! A little late, I know, but I haven't had a chance to update much as of late, so many belated apologies as well. I've been working on a private project over the last month, although I expect to put a few things out over the next month or so.
My counter recently turned over 10,000 visitors, it's just so wonderful to have so many people enjoy my mods! Thanks everyone, and enjoy 2004!
03.11.09
D'Vas Class Heavy Battlecruiser!: Here's something you all might enjoy, a TMP-era Romulan BCH and another of my original designs. She's based on a plastic scratchbuild I made back in the late '80s out of foamcore and styrene, and inspired by FASA's V-30 Winged Defender CA...
03.11.03
Vastam'al & Temar Mosarum Assault Shuttles!: Today is Phoenix Experimental Shipyard's second anniversary! I was hoping to have my D'Vas class BCH ready for download, however I'm still a little short of having it done. Instead I've decided to release a set of playable shuttles based on the D'Vas's fighter escort: The H-13 & H-22 Assault Shuttles!
If you had asked me two years ago how long I might have been modding for KA, I would have told you about six months. Here we are two years later, and the Klingon Academy community's still growing! Thanks to everyone, you've made modding for this game a joy and a privilege. :D
03.09.24
HMCS MacKenzie & Pearson!: What with all the Ruskie and Yankie retextures happening on the KlingonAcademy.com Forums I figured it was high time the Canuk colours were flown! What started out as a tounge-in-cheek retexture of the Spoilsport in the ol' Red 'n White, I came up with both dress and combat paint jobs for the new Peacekeeper class...
03.09.16
Various Ship Updates...: I've updated the balancing and ginsu for the USS Fox/Coyote, the Klingon B'Rel & the Reflex/Spoilsport. These ships now have corrected ginsu balancing and reduced point counts. The Fox/Reflex now have better balanced stats against ingame ships, and the B'Rel also has some minor visual updates, including lit windows and a properly modeled impulse section...
03.07.31
OCFF Sortrex Release: Here's another of the ships I came up with in the late '80s / early '90s. She's a rogue Orion Pirate Frigate that terrorized the spacelanes from 2287 to 2301... Enjoy!
03.07.24
TOS Romulan Fleet Release!: At long last the TOS Romulan Fleet Pack is done! Included are three new ships, plus revamps of the Original Bird of Prey and the Stormbird. There's also a history file I've composed explaining some of the history of the Romulan Fleet as well. This concludes my TOS era mod series, consisting of seventeen seperatly loadable ship classes from that era in four packs... Now onto TMP and NX!
Special thanks goes to Why? for putting together the docking animations for the Narvastam Ocalla!
03.07.17
TMP Starfleet Update: Some time ago Reaper pointed out that the weapons on my Refit Constitution weren't taking any damage, so I've corrected the bugs in the surface qualities. This also affected my Akula Refit and the Mary D Anderson. The Miranda wasn't affected, as it's weapons have a different setup.
03.07.11
TOS Starfleet Rebalance!: The TOS Starfleet Ships are rebalanced and re-released. Not nearly as many visual tweaks as the Klingon pack, but now they're balanced against each other much better, and I've also re-arranged the weapons on the Avenger and Eagle...
Phoenix Experimental Shipyard's Angelfire account has also been upgraded, so I now have 500% more bandwidth, and most of the popup ads are gone... Enjoy!
03.07.07
DY-100 Update!: Threw together some new textures for the Botany Bay set the other night. While I was at it I swapped the Spooco's warp engines with the Phoenix's, and adjusted the stats to reflect something more like a ship from the NX-Era. They're now sluggish, have weak guns, and blow up really easy. I also found out some time ago that the DY-500 mentioned in the TNG episode "Up The Long Ladder" had an onscreen graphic, and didn't look much like my mod, so I've changed the designation to DY-250...
03.06.30
TOS Klingon Fleet Update!: Over the next couple of weeks I'll be rebalancing all of my TOS ships, and I'll anounce each navy as I finish them. The Klingons are ready, with better ship balancing and some ginsu corrections to boot. The Starfleet Pack will follow soon, with similar changes, and after that I'll finally be able to get my TOS RomPack done!
03.06.21
USS Reliant & Hephaestus Release!: At long last, the Miranda is done! Two ships in this pack, The Reliant and the Hephaestus... Enjoy!
BTW... Happy Solstice!
03.06.15
Akidaa Sailcraft Update!: And now for an update to my Akidaa Sailcraft Fleet... A new Clipper class ship has been added, plus animated textures added to the sails...
03.06.11
Texture Tutorial Update!: At long last I've finaly gotten around to updating my Textures Tutorial, including with it much needed graphics of Lightwave tools and expanding the instruction to include lightmaps, transparancies and texture animations...
03.04.28
XTB Reflex & OMBR Spoilsport Update!: I've also made some long overdue updates to the Reflex and Spoilsport. I've added the forward Transwarp Nacelle that she's supposed to carry, and adjusted surface, damage and weapons problems for both ships...
03.04.23
USS Fox & Coyote Update!: I've made some long overdue updates to the Fox and Coyote, including: An added torp tube, lowered phaser output, lighted hull windows, streamlined nacelles, new nav lights, fixed point lighting, plus other tweaks. Both ships are available in a new download, plus new ingame screenshots...
Plus, I've run into my old pages with pictures of the Fox and Phoenix while still in production...
03.04.12
Stuff I'm Working On : Been a while since I'v had a chance to work on anything, let alone update. Here's a number of ships I'm either working on or have on my "to do" list...
02.11.22
TOS RomPack Screenshots: Figured I might as well spill the beans on what's in store for the 3 undisclosed ships in the TOS RomPack...
02.11.03
Dr. Zephram Cochrane's Phoenix: Anniversary Edition
Phoenix Experimental Shipyards celebrates it's first anniversary! It was a year ago today that I released the Phoenix, so I've done a revamp of the original model that I've wanted to do for quite some time. As well, I've adapted KAAF Thor's RealSol System into a 21st Century Sol System...
02.10.13
Romulan V-11 Stormbird: I finally decided to add a 5th ship to the upcoming TOS Romulan Pack: A V-11 Stormbird, a repainted D-7 in the Romulan Star Navy. I figured I might as well release it as another standalone, kind of a sneak peak at what's to come...
02.09.05
U.S.S. Mary D. Anderson, NCC-1948: A short time ago Joshmaul's grandmother passed away. Last night he contacted me and requested that I outfit a Constitution in her honour...
02.09.03
Here's a brand new TOS Klingon Pack: Due to popular demand I 'bashed together two new TOS Klingon ships, the L-13 Deathstalker CL and the K-29 Reaper DE. They've been repackaged in a new four-ship pack. The Romulan V-8 has been seperated as a standalone download, and will likely be added to a future TOS Rom pack...
02.08.25
Kt'Hyla's new Email: PXS@hotmail.com: Spam. We live with it. We hate it. I've decided to abandon my current Hotmail account (KtHyla@hotmail.com)and make a new one. The daily spam buildup was getting far too stupid for me to bother with, even with the filter SW running at max. I'll still check in on my old account from time to time, but future messages should be sent to PXS@hotmail.com...
02.08.25
Here's an updated TOS Adversaries Pack: The D7 was originally very underpowered. The weapons have been corrected, with heavy disruptors added to balance her out. Also, I've added lighting effects to the windows, something the ships definitely needed...
02.07.03
Doh! The little things one misses... Number 6 pointed out a glitch in the 1701 version of the Connie, in that there were no ginsu surfaces appearing. It was a missing entry in the lws file, so I've thrown together a patch for those that have downloaded the Constitution Refit set on Jul 3rd. Just unzip it into your KA directory and allow it to overwrite. The main download is now fixed and blows up normally... Sorry about that, guys!
02.07.03
Finally, the release of the Constitution Refit! Three loadable ships are available on this one: Enterprise NCC-1701, Enterprise NCC-1701-A & Iroquois NCC-1742. Download all three ships here...
02.07.03
Figured that while I was building the Connie, I might as well 'bash together a replacement Akula...
02.06.20
Just a quick update with new screenshots...
02.05.09
Over the weekend I went to work on the Refit Constitution's textures and found on opening the file in Corel that it was corrupted. This happens from time to time, so I keep backups, but the backup wound up with the same glitch and won't open. Since most of the textures had to be adjusted (alignment, colour, etc) I now have to start them from scratch, putting me back about a month or more on this one. Since so much time's going to have passed by the time I get her released I've decided to release a limited Beta of the work in progress. Very frustrating, but at least I have the original templates and the existing textures to use as guides...
02.04.11
Began to realize I needed TMP Constitution components for a 'bash I needed to do later on, so I figured I'd do what I did with the TOS Connie... See a couple shots of the work in progress here. This one may be a little while in coming, my regular life concerns are taking up more and more of my time lately...
02.03.10
A couple of months ago while looking at screenshots of Minbari_Captian's (then upcoming) BoP I started wondering what it would look like if I were to build it... I started mucking around with LW and eventually came up with this: My own rendition of the Klingon Bird of Prey... I had most of it done by the time M_C had his out, so I decided to delay releasing it so everyone would have some time to enjoy his first.
Also, I've done some tweakings to the Fox (blinking lights, seperatly loadable "Coyote" shp file/textures), and set up a Qbships file with detailed instructions for download...
02.01.28
Due to an apparent traffic problem I've had to set up a mirror for the mod downloads on my old Geocities site. Link to the mirror here... Bear in mind I won't be able to put all of my mods on the mirror due to space limitations, so the TOS Packs will be featured for the moment.
02.01.20
Just a little update: The TOS Constitution 13 (alternate ship names) are now available as stand-alone installs...Grab 'em here...
02.01.13
Here's the release of the TOS Klingon D-7 and Romulan Bird of Prey..., And also the release of the TOS Avenger CL, Saladin DE & Eagle DS rebuilds...
02.01.04
Happy New Year! New screenshots of my TOS Klingon D-7 and Bird of Prey... And also screenies of the TOS Avenger CL, Saladin DE & Eagle DS rebuilds...
01.12.23
Happy Holidays!
Something that's been bugging me for a while is the neglect of the TOS ships that came with KA: They're just not that accurate. So... Swadley5 posts me about re-building the Grand Lady, and that gets me over-imaginitive brain started... And while I was at it I had to put together a shuttlecraft...
Get the re-build of the Constitution and Akula here!
01.12.17
One of the first things found with the DY-100 Was it would self destruct whenever it's bridge was captured. I've added warp definitions to counter this and the updated DY-100 and DY-500 are available here...
It also has better balanced weapons and hull resources...
01.12.10
Saw a gap in the "Pre-TOS Ships to Blow Up" category, so I figured I'd slap Kahn's SS Botany Bay together. You can grab the DY-100 and DY-500 from their Download Page here...
The Fox, Reflex and Spoilsport have had their impulse graphics updated, this corrects something I was doing wrong with the luminosity values. Just a minor visual correction but I figured I'd let you know...
01.12.08
Phoenix version 2.0 is ready! This one includes the cool animation of the engines folding / unfolding by Sector1001, and the TES (Tequila Ejection System... Remember to read the Readme). This, a few minor visual tweaks, and a model for use by the in-game AI...
You can grab Phoenix v2.0 from her Download Page here...

Romulan K'T'Inga Battlecruiser! It's a wonder no one asked about this version of the K'T'Inga, but it was a pretty easy retexture to make. Her stats are identical to the ingame ships' specs... but this rendition looks a bit better! Enjoy! :D
04.04.10
Klingon K'T'Inga Battlecruiser Release! She's a ship that hardly requires an introduction, so I'll keep it short: Here's the main release of my K'T'Inga Battlecruiser! Her stats are identical to the ingame ships' specs. I've also updated the B'Rel's textures to reflect the K'T'Inga's new palette. Enjoy!
04.04.02
Klingon K'T'Inga Battlecruiser Sneak Peek! Wow! it's been far too long since I've had a chance to update, and I'm well behind in those ships I mentioned some time ago. One ship that's sat for far too long is my rendition of the K'T'Inga Battlecruiser, and I've posted screenshots of the completed model. All that needs to be done on this one is the ginsu, then some tweaking and I can let her loose: this should only take a week or two.
Although I know I'm going to be asked, I won't be doing a Qu'Onos One version of the K'T'Inga: I neither have the time, nor did I really like the way she looked. However, rest assured that I have a number of other ships in the pipe that'll more than make up for that... ;)
04.01.04
Happy New Year! A little late, I know, but I haven't had a chance to update much as of late, so many belated apologies as well. I've been working on a private project over the last month, although I expect to put a few things out over the next month or so.
My counter recently turned over 10,000 visitors, it's just so wonderful to have so many people enjoy my mods! Thanks everyone, and enjoy 2004!
03.11.09
D'Vas Class Heavy Battlecruiser!: Here's something you all might enjoy, a TMP-era Romulan BCH and another of my original designs. She's based on a plastic scratchbuild I made back in the late '80s out of foamcore and styrene, and inspired by FASA's V-30 Winged Defender CA...
03.11.03
Vastam'al & Temar Mosarum Assault Shuttles!: Today is Phoenix Experimental Shipyard's second anniversary! I was hoping to have my D'Vas class BCH ready for download, however I'm still a little short of having it done. Instead I've decided to release a set of playable shuttles based on the D'Vas's fighter escort: The H-13 & H-22 Assault Shuttles!
If you had asked me two years ago how long I might have been modding for KA, I would have told you about six months. Here we are two years later, and the Klingon Academy community's still growing! Thanks to everyone, you've made modding for this game a joy and a privilege. :D
03.09.24
HMCS MacKenzie & Pearson!: What with all the Ruskie and Yankie retextures happening on the KlingonAcademy.com Forums I figured it was high time the Canuk colours were flown! What started out as a tounge-in-cheek retexture of the Spoilsport in the ol' Red 'n White, I came up with both dress and combat paint jobs for the new Peacekeeper class...
03.09.16
Various Ship Updates...: I've updated the balancing and ginsu for the USS Fox/Coyote, the Klingon B'Rel & the Reflex/Spoilsport. These ships now have corrected ginsu balancing and reduced point counts. The Fox/Reflex now have better balanced stats against ingame ships, and the B'Rel also has some minor visual updates, including lit windows and a properly modeled impulse section...
03.07.31
OCFF Sortrex Release: Here's another of the ships I came up with in the late '80s / early '90s. She's a rogue Orion Pirate Frigate that terrorized the spacelanes from 2287 to 2301... Enjoy!
03.07.24
TOS Romulan Fleet Release!: At long last the TOS Romulan Fleet Pack is done! Included are three new ships, plus revamps of the Original Bird of Prey and the Stormbird. There's also a history file I've composed explaining some of the history of the Romulan Fleet as well. This concludes my TOS era mod series, consisting of seventeen seperatly loadable ship classes from that era in four packs... Now onto TMP and NX!
Special thanks goes to Why? for putting together the docking animations for the Narvastam Ocalla!
03.07.17
TMP Starfleet Update: Some time ago Reaper pointed out that the weapons on my Refit Constitution weren't taking any damage, so I've corrected the bugs in the surface qualities. This also affected my Akula Refit and the Mary D Anderson. The Miranda wasn't affected, as it's weapons have a different setup.
03.07.11
TOS Starfleet Rebalance!: The TOS Starfleet Ships are rebalanced and re-released. Not nearly as many visual tweaks as the Klingon pack, but now they're balanced against each other much better, and I've also re-arranged the weapons on the Avenger and Eagle...
Phoenix Experimental Shipyard's Angelfire account has also been upgraded, so I now have 500% more bandwidth, and most of the popup ads are gone... Enjoy!
03.07.07
DY-100 Update!: Threw together some new textures for the Botany Bay set the other night. While I was at it I swapped the Spooco's warp engines with the Phoenix's, and adjusted the stats to reflect something more like a ship from the NX-Era. They're now sluggish, have weak guns, and blow up really easy. I also found out some time ago that the DY-500 mentioned in the TNG episode "Up The Long Ladder" had an onscreen graphic, and didn't look much like my mod, so I've changed the designation to DY-250...
03.06.30
TOS Klingon Fleet Update!: Over the next couple of weeks I'll be rebalancing all of my TOS ships, and I'll anounce each navy as I finish them. The Klingons are ready, with better ship balancing and some ginsu corrections to boot. The Starfleet Pack will follow soon, with similar changes, and after that I'll finally be able to get my TOS RomPack done!
03.06.21
USS Reliant & Hephaestus Release!: At long last, the Miranda is done! Two ships in this pack, The Reliant and the Hephaestus... Enjoy!
BTW... Happy Solstice!
03.06.15
Akidaa Sailcraft Update!: And now for an update to my Akidaa Sailcraft Fleet... A new Clipper class ship has been added, plus animated textures added to the sails...
03.06.11
Texture Tutorial Update!: At long last I've finaly gotten around to updating my Textures Tutorial, including with it much needed graphics of Lightwave tools and expanding the instruction to include lightmaps, transparancies and texture animations...
03.04.28
XTB Reflex & OMBR Spoilsport Update!: I've also made some long overdue updates to the Reflex and Spoilsport. I've added the forward Transwarp Nacelle that she's supposed to carry, and adjusted surface, damage and weapons problems for both ships...
03.04.23
USS Fox & Coyote Update!: I've made some long overdue updates to the Fox and Coyote, including: An added torp tube, lowered phaser output, lighted hull windows, streamlined nacelles, new nav lights, fixed point lighting, plus other tweaks. Both ships are available in a new download, plus new ingame screenshots...
Plus, I've run into my old pages with pictures of the Fox and Phoenix while still in production...
03.04.12
Stuff I'm Working On : Been a while since I'v had a chance to work on anything, let alone update. Here's a number of ships I'm either working on or have on my "to do" list...
02.11.22
TOS RomPack Screenshots: Figured I might as well spill the beans on what's in store for the 3 undisclosed ships in the TOS RomPack...
02.11.03
Dr. Zephram Cochrane's Phoenix: Anniversary Edition
Phoenix Experimental Shipyards celebrates it's first anniversary! It was a year ago today that I released the Phoenix, so I've done a revamp of the original model that I've wanted to do for quite some time. As well, I've adapted KAAF Thor's RealSol System into a 21st Century Sol System...
02.10.13
Romulan V-11 Stormbird: I finally decided to add a 5th ship to the upcoming TOS Romulan Pack: A V-11 Stormbird, a repainted D-7 in the Romulan Star Navy. I figured I might as well release it as another standalone, kind of a sneak peak at what's to come...
02.09.05
U.S.S. Mary D. Anderson, NCC-1948: A short time ago Joshmaul's grandmother passed away. Last night he contacted me and requested that I outfit a Constitution in her honour...
02.09.03
Here's a brand new TOS Klingon Pack: Due to popular demand I 'bashed together two new TOS Klingon ships, the L-13 Deathstalker CL and the K-29 Reaper DE. They've been repackaged in a new four-ship pack. The Romulan V-8 has been seperated as a standalone download, and will likely be added to a future TOS Rom pack...
02.08.25
Kt'Hyla's new Email: PXS@hotmail.com: Spam. We live with it. We hate it. I've decided to abandon my current Hotmail account (KtHyla@hotmail.com)and make a new one. The daily spam buildup was getting far too stupid for me to bother with, even with the filter SW running at max. I'll still check in on my old account from time to time, but future messages should be sent to PXS@hotmail.com...
02.08.25
Here's an updated TOS Adversaries Pack: The D7 was originally very underpowered. The weapons have been corrected, with heavy disruptors added to balance her out. Also, I've added lighting effects to the windows, something the ships definitely needed...
02.07.03
Doh! The little things one misses... Number 6 pointed out a glitch in the 1701 version of the Connie, in that there were no ginsu surfaces appearing. It was a missing entry in the lws file, so I've thrown together a patch for those that have downloaded the Constitution Refit set on Jul 3rd. Just unzip it into your KA directory and allow it to overwrite. The main download is now fixed and blows up normally... Sorry about that, guys!
02.07.03
Finally, the release of the Constitution Refit! Three loadable ships are available on this one: Enterprise NCC-1701, Enterprise NCC-1701-A & Iroquois NCC-1742. Download all three ships here...
02.07.03
Figured that while I was building the Connie, I might as well 'bash together a replacement Akula...
02.06.20
Just a quick update with new screenshots...
02.05.09
Over the weekend I went to work on the Refit Constitution's textures and found on opening the file in Corel that it was corrupted. This happens from time to time, so I keep backups, but the backup wound up with the same glitch and won't open. Since most of the textures had to be adjusted (alignment, colour, etc) I now have to start them from scratch, putting me back about a month or more on this one. Since so much time's going to have passed by the time I get her released I've decided to release a limited Beta of the work in progress. Very frustrating, but at least I have the original templates and the existing textures to use as guides...
02.04.11
Began to realize I needed TMP Constitution components for a 'bash I needed to do later on, so I figured I'd do what I did with the TOS Connie... See a couple shots of the work in progress here. This one may be a little while in coming, my regular life concerns are taking up more and more of my time lately...
02.03.10
A couple of months ago while looking at screenshots of Minbari_Captian's (then upcoming) BoP I started wondering what it would look like if I were to build it... I started mucking around with LW and eventually came up with this: My own rendition of the Klingon Bird of Prey... I had most of it done by the time M_C had his out, so I decided to delay releasing it so everyone would have some time to enjoy his first.
Also, I've done some tweakings to the Fox (blinking lights, seperatly loadable "Coyote" shp file/textures), and set up a Qbships file with detailed instructions for download...
02.01.28
Due to an apparent traffic problem I've had to set up a mirror for the mod downloads on my old Geocities site. Link to the mirror here... Bear in mind I won't be able to put all of my mods on the mirror due to space limitations, so the TOS Packs will be featured for the moment.
02.01.20
Just a little update: The TOS Constitution 13 (alternate ship names) are now available as stand-alone installs...Grab 'em here...
02.01.13
Here's the release of the TOS Klingon D-7 and Romulan Bird of Prey..., And also the release of the TOS Avenger CL, Saladin DE & Eagle DS rebuilds...
02.01.04
Happy New Year! New screenshots of my TOS Klingon D-7 and Bird of Prey... And also screenies of the TOS Avenger CL, Saladin DE & Eagle DS rebuilds...
01.12.23
Happy Holidays!
Something that's been bugging me for a while is the neglect of the TOS ships that came with KA: They're just not that accurate. So... Swadley5 posts me about re-building the Grand Lady, and that gets me over-imaginitive brain started... And while I was at it I had to put together a shuttlecraft...
Get the re-build of the Constitution and Akula here!
01.12.17
One of the first things found with the DY-100 Was it would self destruct whenever it's bridge was captured. I've added warp definitions to counter this and the updated DY-100 and DY-500 are available here...
It also has better balanced weapons and hull resources...
01.12.10
Saw a gap in the "Pre-TOS Ships to Blow Up" category, so I figured I'd slap Kahn's SS Botany Bay together. You can grab the DY-100 and DY-500 from their Download Page here...
The Fox, Reflex and Spoilsport have had their impulse graphics updated, this corrects something I was doing wrong with the luminosity values. Just a minor visual correction but I figured I'd let you know...
01.12.08
Phoenix version 2.0 is ready! This one includes the cool animation of the engines folding / unfolding by Sector1001, and the TES (Tequila Ejection System... Remember to read the Readme). This, a few minor visual tweaks, and a model for use by the in-game AI...
You can grab Phoenix v2.0 from her Download Page here...
Greetings from the Silo... ;)
01.12.01
Both Akidaa Subspace Sailcraft are now ready for download: ACS Schooner & ACC Cutter... Both ships are included in the same file... Have fun with 'em!
01.11.28
Got the Reflex and the Spoilsport ready for download! D/l pages are at:
Reflex XTB... and
Spoilsport Blockade Runner...
Also, check out pics of my upcoming Akidaa Subspace Sailcraft: ACS Schooner & ACC Cutter...
01.11.15
Got screenshots up of my next mod. The Reflex was a fomer Orion Blockade Runner (aka Spoilsport) that was aquired by Starfleet R&D to be used as a testbed for their FFIX (Full Field Impulse Experiment (2298), hence the third nacelle). She's supposed to be a little smaller than the ST III B'Rel, just to give you an idea of scale.You can see the screenies here. (Aprx. 160k each)
01.11.03
The launch of the Phoenix site! I felt it only fitting that I get the Main Release of Zephram Cochrane's Phoenix ready for the launch of the site. You can grab Phoenix 1.0 from her Download Page here. There will be a version 2.0 later on, since I haven't been able to include a few of the things I wanted to send with her, most notably an animation of the engines folding / unfolding by Sector1001...
01.11.03
With a blessed lack of agonizing hype, Kt'Hyla releases his latest mod, the USS Fox on the KA Community...
Grab her here: USS Fox NCC-7317...

D'Hatham Warbird Preview! Romulan Dawn Part II won't be far off, so I figured I'd post a preview of a spinoff ship I made based on the RSE Katar, the ship central to RD's story. I've left the screenshots silhouetted, since we don't want to give the Katar's appearance away before the release, but you can read my take on Romulan Fleet History (Pt II), and the D'Hatham Warbird, the TMP predesessor to the D'Deridex!
04.11.03
Sol 2063 & 2293 Re-release! What? It's been another year already?! Today is Phoenix Experimental Shipyard's 3rd anniversary, and it seems to be a good occasion to release my redeux of the Sol 2063 System!
04.10.28
Alternate KA Forums! RHCD has his personal forums set up and is ready for Klingon Academy folk to come and post there until Gamespy has fixed their little snafu. It'll require new registration for those who don't have an account there, but for the time being, we have a home. ;)
04.10.20
KA.com Server Snafus... KA.com's been down over a week now, due to server problems. John sent some of the RD members a quick heads-up yesterday, and I thought I'd relay his email to you:
***********
Short story, GameSpy f***ed up again. Almost every site on GameSpy that is based on the dynamic servers is down. So that means any PHP based site is dead in the water. Hopefully back up tonight but thats if all goes well as the site owners will need to make a number of config changes once the servers are live again.
This has been a major disruption, GameSpy sysop must have been smoking something funny :( We won't suffer any data loss, just a bit of extended downtime.
John

04.09.11
Akula Refit Update! I've now applied the updated ginsu from the Connie Refit to the Akula, and added two new ships to the class...
04.09.11
Constitution Refit Update! I've finally gotten around to improving the ginsu model on my Connie Refit, and having started from scratch on that she now has more than double the destroyable surfaces that the first version had, and the nacelles are both destroyable now. I've also done little performance tweakings, such as point reduction, elite officers and crew on the 'A', no more phasrtex line for the 1701-A & 1742, and added a fourth ship with a new name and registry... Enjoy!
04.09.02
Delon Narvasam Mobile Repair Facility Release! Here's the release of the seperate install for the Delon Narvasam Mobile Drydock, as featured in Romulan Dawn. Enjoy!
I've also posted a sneak preview of the Sindari Cl'Vangas Strike Fighter, of which will be featured in the next installment of the Romulan Dawn missions...
04.08.13
Vastagor Ocalla & Vas'Hatham Refit Release! As I mentioned before, I'll be releasing key ships from Romulan Dawn as seperate installs. In this segment I've made the Talon of Fire & Bird of Prey Refits available. Enjoy!
04.08.05
Romulan Dawn Released! Yes, it's here! The one, the only... Romulan Dawn!!!
On behalf of the Romulan Dawn Team, I have to thank everyone for their patience in waiting for us to release. We didn't want this rushed, rather, we wanted to give you a quality production... and I know you're not going to be dissapointed!
I'll be releasing some of the ships featured in Romulan Dawn through the PXS website over the next couple of weeks as seperate installs. You can download the Romulan Dawn Installer for the Part 1 Missions at Romulan Dawn's main website... Enjoy!!!
04.07.18
Romulan Dawn Ship Preview! Here's another sneak peek at a Ship from Romulan Dawn, the Delon Narvasam Mobile Repair Facility!
04.07.09
Coyote ES Update: I've updated the Coyote's ginsu and overall balancing. I've included two new registries (Timberwolf & Wolverine), and the engines' ginsu now allows you to blow the nacelles off if the pylons are destroyed. Enjoy!
04.06.22
Miranda CL Update: I've repaired a number of weapons and ginsu imbalances in my Mirandas, and was able to reduce the point count on the models by a couple of hundred points as well. No graphical changes, other than the engines' ginsu works properly now, and the Reliants' phasers aren't nearly as overpowered as they once were...
04.06.20
Romulan Dawn Webpage! John recently resurected the Romulan Dawn Website, and I figured I'd provide a link to it...
04.06.12
Romulan Dawn Ship Preview! Since my involvement with Romulan Dawn was revealed a little earlier that we were planning, The RD Team and I have decided to give you guys a sneak preview of two of the ships appearing in the upcoming Romulan Dawn Academy Campagin... the Vas'Hatham and Vastagor Ocalla Refits!

Kt'Hyla's new Email: PXS@hotmail.com: Spam. We live with it. We hate it. I've decided to abandon my current Hotmail account (KtHyla@hotmail.com)and make a new one. The daily spam buildup was getting far too stupid for me to bother with, even with the filter SW running at max. I'll still check in on my old account from time to time, but future messages should be sent to PXS@hotmail.com...
02.08.25
Here's an updated TOS Adversaries Pack: The D7 was originally very underpowered. The weapons have been corrected, with heavy disruptors added to balance her out. Also, I've added lighting effects to the windows, something the ships definitely needed...
02.07.03
Doh! The little things one misses... Number 6 pointed out a glitch in the 1701 version of the Connie, in that there were no ginsu surfaces appearing. It was a missing entry in the lws file, so I've thrown together a patch for those that have downloaded the Constitution Refit set on Jul 3rd. Just unzip it into your KA directory and allow it to overwrite. The main download is now fixed and blows up normally... Sorry about that, guys!
02.07.03
Finally, the release of the Constitution Refit! Three loadable ships are available on this one: Enterprise NCC-1701, Enterprise NCC-1701-A & Iroquois NCC-1742. Download all three ships here...
02.07.03
Figured that while I was building the Connie, I might as well 'bash together a replacement Akula...
02.06.20
Just a quick update with new screenshots...
02.05.09
Over the weekend I went to work on the Refit Constitution's textures and found on opening the file in Corel that it was corrupted. This happens from time to time, so I keep backups, but the backup wound up with the same glitch and won't open. Since most of the textures had to be adjusted (alignment, colour, etc) I now have to start them from scratch, putting me back about a month or more on this one. Since so much time's going to have passed by the time I get her released I've decided to release a limited Beta of the work in progress. Very frustrating, but at least I have the original templates and the existing textures to use as guides...
02.04.11
Began to realize I needed TMP Constitution components for a 'bash I needed to do later on, so I figured I'd do what I did with the TOS Connie... See a couple shots of the work in progress here. This one may be a little while in coming, my regular life concerns are taking up more and more of my time lately...
02.03.10
A couple of months ago while looking at screenshots of Minbari_Captian's (then upcoming) BoP I started wondering what it would look like if I were to build it... I started mucking around with LW and eventually came up with this: My own rendition of the Klingon Bird of Prey... I had most of it done by the time M_C had his out, so I decided to delay releasing it so everyone would have some time to enjoy his first.
Also, I've done some tweakings to the Fox (blinking lights, seperatly loadable "Coyote" shp file/textures), and set up a Qbships file with detailed instructions for download...
02.01.28
Due to an apparent traffic problem I've had to set up a mirror for the mod downloads on my old Geocities site. Link to the mirror here... Bear in mind I won't be able to put all of my mods on the mirror due to space limitations, so the TOS Packs will be featured for the moment.
02.01.20
Just a little update: The TOS Constitution 13 (alternate ship names) are now available as stand-alone installs...Grab 'em here...
02.01.13
Here's the release of the TOS Klingon D-7 and Romulan Bird of Prey..., And also the release of the TOS Avenger CL, Saladin DE & Eagle DS rebuilds...
02.01.04
Happy New Year! New screenshots of my TOS Klingon D-7 and Bird of Prey... And also screenies of the TOS Avenger CL, Saladin DE & Eagle DS rebuilds...
01.12.23
Happy Holidays!
Something that's been bugging me for a while is the neglect of the TOS ships that came with KA: They're just not that accurate. So... Swadley5 posts me about re-building the Grand Lady, and that gets me over-imaginitive brain started... And while I was at it I had to put together a shuttlecraft...
Get the re-build of the Constitution and Akula here!
01.12.17
One of the first things found with the DY-100 Was it would self destruct whenever it's bridge was captured. I've added warp definitions to counter this and the updated DY-100 and DY-500 are available here...
It also has better balanced weapons and hull resources...
01.12.10
Saw a gap in the "Pre-TOS Ships to Blow Up" category, so I figured I'd slap Kahn's SS Botany Bay together. You can grab the DY-100 and DY-500 from their Download Page here...
The Fox, Reflex and Spoilsport have had their impulse graphics updated, this corrects something I was doing wrong with the luminosity values. Just a minor visual correction but I figured I'd let you know...
01.12.08
Phoenix version 2.0 is ready! This one includes the cool animation of the engines folding / unfolding by Sector1001, and the TES (Tequila Ejection System... Remember to read the Readme). This, a few minor visual tweaks, and a model for use by the in-game AI...
You can grab Phoenix v2.0 from her Download Page here...
Greetings from the Silo... ;)
01.12.01
Both Akidaa Subspace Sailcraft are now ready for download: ACS Schooner & ACC Cutter... Both ships are included in the same file... Have fun with 'em!
01.11.28
Got the Reflex and the Spoilsport ready for download! D/l pages are at:
Reflex XTB... and
Spoilsport Blockade Runner...
Also, check out pics of my upcoming Akidaa Subspace Sailcraft: ACS Schooner & ACC Cutter...
01.11.15
Got screenshots up of my next mod. The Reflex was a fomer Orion Blockade Runner (aka Spoilsport) that was aquired by Starfleet R&D to be used as a testbed for their FFIX (Full Field Impulse Experiment (2298), hence the third nacelle). She's supposed to be a little smaller than the ST III B'Rel, just to give you an idea of scale.You can see the screenies here. (Aprx. 160k each)
01.11.03
The launch of the Phoenix site! I felt it only fitting that I get the Main Release of Zephram Cochrane's Phoenix ready for the launch of the site. You can grab Phoenix 1.0 from her Download Page here. There will be a version 2.0 later on, since I haven't been able to include a few of the things I wanted to send with her, most notably an animation of the engines folding / unfolding by Sector1001...
01.11.03
With a blessed lack of agonizing hype, Kt'Hyla releases his latest mod, the USS Fox on the KA Community...
Grab her here: USS Fox NCC-7317...

Alternate KA Forums! RHCD has his personal forums set up and is ready for Klingon Academy folk to come and post there until Gamespy has fixed their little snafu. It'll require new registration for those who don't have an account there, but for the time being, we have a home. ;)

KA.com Server Snafus... KA.com's been down over a week now, due to server problems. John sent some of the RD members a quick heads-up yesterday, and I thought I'd relay his email to you:
***********
Short story, GameSpy f***ed up again. Almost every site on GameSpy that is based on the dynamic servers is down. So that means any PHP based site is dead in the water. Hopefully back up tonight but thats if all goes well as the site owners will need to make a number of config changes once the servers are live again.
This has been a major disruption, GameSpy sysop must have been smoking something funny :( We won't suffer any data loss, just a bit of extended downtime.
John

04.09.11
Akula Refit Update! I've now applied the updated ginsu from the Connie Refit to the Akula, and added two new ships to the class...
04.09.11
Constitution Refit Update! I've finally gotten around to improving the ginsu model on my Connie Refit, and having started from scratch on that she now has more than double the destroyable surfaces that the first version had, and the nacelles are both destroyable now. I've also done little performance tweakings, such as point reduction, elite officers and crew on the 'A', no more phasrtex line for the 1701-A & 1742, and added a fourth ship with a new name and registry... Enjoy!
04.09.02
Delon Narvasam Mobile Repair Facility Release! Here's the release of the seperate install for the Delon Narvasam Mobile Drydock, as featured in Romulan Dawn. Enjoy!
I've also posted a sneak preview of the Sindari Cl'Vangas Strike Fighter, of which will be featured in the next installment of the Romulan Dawn missions...
04.08.13
Vastagor Ocalla & Vas'Hatham Refit Release! As I mentioned before, I'll be releasing key ships from Romulan Dawn as seperate installs. In this segment I've made the Talon of Fire & Bird of Prey Refits available. Enjoy!
04.08.05
Romulan Dawn Released! Yes, it's here! The one, the only... Romulan Dawn!!!
On behalf of the Romulan Dawn Team, I have to thank everyone for their patience in waiting for us to release. We didn't want this rushed, rather, we wanted to give you a quality production... and I know you're not going to be dissapointed!
I'll be releasing some of the ships featured in Romulan Dawn through the PXS website over the next couple of weeks as seperate installs. You can download the Romulan Dawn Installer for the Part 1 Missions at Romulan Dawn's main website... Enjoy!!!
04.07.18
Romulan Dawn Ship Preview! Here's another sneak peek at a Ship from Romulan Dawn, the Delon Narvasam Mobile Repair Facility!
04.07.09
Coyote ES Update: I've updated the Coyote's ginsu and overall balancing. I've included two new registries (Timberwolf & Wolverine), and the engines' ginsu now allows you to blow the nacelles off if the pylons are destroyed. Enjoy!
04.06.22
Miranda CL Update: I've repaired a number of weapons and ginsu imbalances in my Mirandas, and was able to reduce the point count on the models by a couple of hundred points as well. No graphical changes, other than the engines' ginsu works properly now, and the Reliants' phasers aren't nearly as overpowered as they once were...
04.06.20
Romulan Dawn Webpage! John recently resurected the Romulan Dawn Website, and I figured I'd provide a link to it...
04.06.12
Romulan Dawn Ship Preview! Since my involvement with Romulan Dawn was revealed a little earlier that we were planning, The RD Team and I have decided to give you guys a sneak preview of two of the ships appearing in the upcoming Romulan Dawn Academy Campagin... the Vas'Hatham and Vastagor Ocalla Refits!
04.05.07
Romulan K'T'Inga Battlecruiser! It's a wonder no one asked about this version of the K'T'Inga, but it was a pretty easy retexture to make. Her stats are identical to the ingame ships' specs... but this rendition looks a bit better! Enjoy! :D
04.04.10
Klingon K'T'Inga Battlecruiser Release! She's a ship that hardly requires an introduction, so I'll keep it short: Here's the main release of my K'T'Inga Battlecruiser! Her stats are identical to the ingame ships' specs. I've also updated the B'Rel's textures to reflect the K'T'Inga's new palette. Enjoy!
04.04.02
Klingon K'T'Inga Battlecruiser Sneak Peek! Wow! it's been far too long since I've had a chance to update, and I'm well behind in those ships I mentioned some time ago. One ship that's sat for far too long is my rendition of the K'T'Inga Battlecruiser, and I've posted screenshots of the completed model. All that needs to be done on this one is the ginsu, then some tweaking and I can let her loose: this should only take a week or two.
Although I know I'm going to be asked, I won't be doing a Qu'Onos One version of the K'T'Inga: I neither have the time, nor did I really like the way she looked. However, rest assured that I have a number of other ships in the pipe that'll more than make up for that... ;)
04.01.04
Happy New Year! A little late, I know, but I haven't had a chance to update much as of late, so many belated apologies as well. I've been working on a private project over the last month, although I expect to put a few things out over the next month or so.
My counter recently turned over 10,000 visitors, it's just so wonderful to have so many people enjoy my mods! Thanks everyone, and enjoy 2004!
03.11.09
D'Vas Class Heavy Battlecruiser!: Here's something you all might enjoy, a TMP-era Romulan BCH and another of my original designs. She's based on a plastic scratchbuild I made back in the late '80s out of foamcore and styrene, and inspired by FASA's V-30 Winged Defender CA...
03.11.03
Vastam'al & Temar Mosarum Assault Shuttles!: Today is Phoenix Experimental Shipyard's second anniversary! I was hoping to have my D'Vas class BCH ready for download, however I'm still a little short of having it done. Instead I've decided to release a set of playable shuttles based on the D'Vas's fighter escort: The H-13 & H-22 Assault Shuttles!
If you had asked me two years ago how long I might have been modding for KA, I would have told you about six months. Here we are two years later, and the Klingon Academy community's still growing! Thanks to everyone, you've made modding for this game a joy and a privilege. :D
03.09.24
HMCS MacKenzie & Pearson!: What with all the Ruskie and Yankie retextures happening on the KlingonAcademy.com Forums I figured it was high time the Canuk colours were flown! What started out as a tounge-in-cheek retexture of the Spoilsport in the ol' Red 'n White, I came up with both dress and combat paint jobs for the new Peacekeeper class...
03.09.16
Various Ship Updates...: I've updated the balancing and ginsu for the USS Fox/Coyote, the Klingon B'Rel & the Reflex/Spoilsport. These ships now have corrected ginsu balancing and reduced point counts. The Fox/Reflex now have better balanced stats against ingame ships, and the B'Rel also has some minor visual updates, including lit windows and a properly modeled impulse section...
03.07.31
OCFF Sortrex Release: Here's another of the ships I came up with in the late '80s / early '90s. She's a rogue Orion Pirate Frigate that terrorized the spacelanes from 2287 to 2301... Enjoy!
03.07.24
TOS Romulan Fleet Release!: At long last the TOS Romulan Fleet Pack is done! Included are three new ships, plus revamps of the Original Bird of Prey and the Stormbird. There's also a history file I've composed explaining some of the history of the Romulan Fleet as well. This concludes my TOS era mod series, consisting of seventeen seperatly loadable ship classes from that era in four packs... Now onto TMP and NX!
Special thanks goes to Why? for putting together the docking animations for the Narvastam Ocalla!
03.07.17
TMP Starfleet Update: Some time ago Reaper pointed out that the weapons on my Refit Constitution weren't taking any damage, so I've corrected the bugs in the surface qualities. This also affected my Akula Refit and the Mary D Anderson. The Miranda wasn't affected, as it's weapons have a different setup.
03.07.11
TOS Starfleet Rebalance!: The TOS Starfleet Ships are rebalanced and re-released. Not nearly as many visual tweaks as the Klingon pack, but now they're balanced against each other much better, and I've also re-arranged the weapons on the Avenger and Eagle...
Phoenix Experimental Shipyard's Angelfire account has also been upgraded, so I now have 500% more bandwidth, and most of the popup ads are gone... Enjoy!
03.07.07
DY-100 Update!: Threw together some new textures for the Botany Bay set the other night. While I was at it I swapped the Spooco's warp engines with the Phoenix's, and adjusted the stats to reflect something more like a ship from the NX-Era. They're now sluggish, have weak guns, and blow up really easy. I also found out some time ago that the DY-500 mentioned in the TNG episode "Up The Long Ladder" had an onscreen graphic, and didn't look much like my mod, so I've changed the designation to DY-250...
03.06.30
TOS Klingon Fleet Update!: Over the next couple of weeks I'll be rebalancing all of my TOS ships, and I'll anounce each navy as I finish them. The Klingons are ready, with better ship balancing and some ginsu corrections to boot. The Starfleet Pack will follow soon, with similar changes, and after that I'll finally be able to get my TOS RomPack done!
03.06.21
USS Reliant & Hephaestus Release!: At long last, the Miranda is done! Two ships in this pack, The Reliant and the Hephaestus... Enjoy!
BTW... Happy Solstice!
03.06.15
Akidaa Sailcraft Update!: And now for an update to my Akidaa Sailcraft Fleet... A new Clipper class ship has been added, plus animated textures added to the sails...
03.06.11
Texture Tutorial Update!: At long last I've finaly gotten around to updating my Textures Tutorial, including with it much needed graphics of Lightwave tools and expanding the instruction to include lightmaps, transparancies and texture animations...
03.04.28
XTB Reflex & OMBR Spoilsport Update!: I've also made some long overdue updates to the Reflex and Spoilsport. I've added the forward Transwarp Nacelle that she's supposed to carry, and adjusted surface, damage and weapons problems for both ships...
03.04.23
USS Fox & Coyote Update!: I've made some long overdue updates to the Fox and Coyote, including: An added torp tube, lowered phaser output, lighted hull windows, streamlined nacelles, new nav lights, fixed point lighting, plus other tweaks. Both ships are available in a new download, plus new ingame screenshots...
Plus, I've run into my old pages with pictures of the Fox and Phoenix while still in production...
03.04.12
Stuff I'm Working On : Been a while since I'v had a chance to work on anything, let alone update. Here's a number of ships I'm either working on or have on my "to do" list...
02.11.22
TOS RomPack Screenshots: Figured I might as well spill the beans on what's in store for the 3 undisclosed ships in the TOS RomPack...
02.11.03
Dr. Zephram Cochrane's Phoenix: Anniversary Edition
Phoenix Experimental Shipyards celebrates it's first anniversary! It was a year ago today that I released the Phoenix, so I've done a revamp of the original model that I've wanted to do for quite some time. As well, I've adapted KAAF Thor's RealSol System into a 21st Century Sol System...
02.10.13
Romulan V-11 Stormbird: I finally decided to add a 5th ship to the upcoming TOS Romulan Pack: A V-11 Stormbird, a repainted D-7 in the Romulan Star Navy. I figured I might as well release it as another standalone, kind of a sneak peak at what's to come...
02.09.05
U.S.S. Mary D. Anderson, NCC-1948: A short time ago Joshmaul's grandmother passed away. Last night he contacted me and requested that I outfit a Constitution in her honour...
02.09.03
Here's a brand new TOS Klingon Pack: Due to popular demand I 'bashed together two new TOS Klingon ships, the L-13 Deathstalker CL and the K-29 Reaper DE. They've been repackaged in a new four-ship pack. The Romulan V-8 has been seperated as a standalone download, and will likely be added to a future TOS Rom pack...

No graphical changes, other than the engines' ginsu works properly now, and the Reliants' phasers aren't nearly as overpowered as they once were...
04.06.20
Romulan Dawn Webpage! John recently resurected the Romulan Dawn Website, and I figured I'd provide a link to it...
04.06.12
Romulan Dawn Ship Preview! Since my involvement with Romulan Dawn was revealed a little earlier that we were planning, The RD Team and I have decided to give you guys a sneak preview of two of the ships appearing in the upcoming Romulan Dawn Academy Campagin... the Vas'Hatham and Vastagor Ocalla Refits!
04.05.07
Romulan K'T'Inga Battlecruiser! It's a wonder no one asked about this version of the K'T'Inga, but it was a pretty easy retexture to make. Her stats are identical to the ingame ships' specs... but this rendition looks a bit better! Enjoy! :D
04.04.10
Klingon K'T'Inga Battlecruiser Release! She's a ship that hardly requires an introduction, so I'll keep it short: Here's the main release of my K'T'Inga Battlecruiser! Her stats are identical to the ingame ships' specs. I've also updated the B'Rel's textures to reflect the K'T'Inga's new palette. Enjoy!
04.04.02
Klingon K'T'Inga Battlecruiser Sneak Peek! Wow! it's been far too long since I've had a chance to update, and I'm well behind in those ships I mentioned some time ago. One ship that's sat for far too long is my rendition of the K'T'Inga Battlecruiser, and I've posted screenshots of the completed model. All that needs to be done on this one is the ginsu, then some tweaking and I can let her loose: this should only take a week or two.
Although I know I'm going to be asked, I won't be doing a Qu'Onos One version of the K'T'Inga: I neither have the time, nor did I really like the way she looked. However, rest assured that I have a number of other ships in the pipe that'll more than make up for that... ;)
04.01.04
Happy New Year! A little late, I know, but I haven't had a chance to update much as of late, so many belated apologies as well. I've been working on a private project over the last month, although I expect to put a few things out over the next month or so.
My counter recently turned over 10,000 visitors, it's just so wonderful to have so many people enjoy my mods! Thanks everyone, and enjoy 2004!
03.11.09
D'Vas Class Heavy Battlecruiser!: Here's something you all might enjoy, a TMP-era Romulan BCH and another of my original designs. She's based on a plastic scratchbuild I made back in the late '80s out of foamcore and styrene, and inspired by FASA's V-30 Winged Defender CA...
03.11.03
Vastam'al & Temar Mosarum Assault Shuttles!: Today is Phoenix Experimental Shipyard's second anniversary! I was hoping to have my D'Vas class BCH ready for download, however I'm still a little short of having it done. Instead I've decided to release a set of playable shuttles based on the D'Vas's fighter escort: The H-13 & H-22 Assault Shuttles!
If you had asked me two years ago how long I might have been modding for KA, I would have told you about six months. Here we are two years later, and the Klingon Academy community's still growing! Thanks to everyone, you've made modding for this game a joy and a privilege. :D
03.09.24
HMCS MacKenzie & Pearson!: What with all the Ruskie and Yankie retextures happening on the KlingonAcademy.com Forums I figured it was high time the Canuk colours were flown! What started out as a tounge-in-cheek retexture of the Spoilsport in the ol' Red 'n White, I came up with both dress and combat paint jobs for the new Peacekeeper class...
03.09.16
Various Ship Updates...: I've updated the balancing and ginsu for the USS Fox/Coyote, the Klingon B'Rel & the Reflex/Spoilsport. These ships now have corrected ginsu balancing and reduced point counts. The Fox/Reflex now have better balanced stats against ingame ships, and the B'Rel also has some minor visual updates, including lit windows and a properly modeled impulse section...
03.07.31
OCFF Sortrex Release: Here's another of the ships I came up with in the late '80s / early '90s. She's a rogue Orion Pirate Frigate that terrorized the spacelanes from 2287 to 2301... Enjoy!
03.07.24
TOS Romulan Fleet Release!: At long last the TOS Romulan Fleet Pack is done! Included are three new ships, plus revamps of the Original Bird of Prey and the Stormbird. There's also a history file I've composed explaining some of the history of the Romulan Fleet as well. This concludes my TOS era mod series, consisting of seventeen seperatly loadable ship classes from that era in four packs... Now onto TMP and NX!
Special thanks goes to Why? for putting together the docking animations for the Narvastam Ocalla!
03.07.17
TMP Starfleet Update: Some time ago Reaper pointed out that the weapons on my Refit Constitution weren't taking any damage, so I've corrected the bugs in the surface qualities. This also affected my Akula Refit and the Mary D Anderson. The Miranda wasn't affected, as it's weapons have a different setup.
03.07.11
TOS Starfleet Rebalance!: The TOS Starfleet Ships are rebalanced and re-released. Not nearly as many visual tweaks as the Klingon pack, but now they're balanced against each other much better, and I've also re-arranged the weapons on the Avenger and Eagle...
Phoenix Experimental Shipyard's Angelfire account has also been upgraded, so I now have 500% more bandwidth, and most of the popup ads are gone... Enjoy!
03.07.07
DY-100 Update!: Threw together some new textures for the Botany Bay set the other night. While I was at it I swapped the Spooco's warp engines with the Phoenix's, and adjusted the stats to reflect something more like a ship from the NX-Era. They're now sluggish, have weak guns, and blow up really easy. I also found out some time ago that the DY-500 mentioned in the TNG episode "Up The Long Ladder" had an onscreen graphic, and didn't look much like my mod, so I've changed the designation to DY-250...
03.06.30
TOS Klingon Fleet Update!: Over the next couple of weeks I'll be rebalancing all of my TOS ships, and I'll anounce each navy as I finish them. The Klingons are ready, with better ship balancing and some ginsu corrections to boot. The Starfleet Pack will follow soon, with similar changes, and after that I'll finally be able to get my TOS RomPack done!
03.06.21
USS Reliant & Hephaestus Release!: At long last, the Miranda is done! Two ships in this pack, The Reliant and the Hephaestus... Enjoy!
BTW... Happy Solstice!
03.06.15
Akidaa Sailcraft Update!: And now for an update to my Akidaa Sailcraft Fleet... A new Clipper class ship has been added, plus animated textures added to the sails...
03.06.11
Texture Tutorial Update!: At long last I've finaly gotten around to updating my Textures Tutorial, including with it much needed graphics of Lightwave tools and expanding the instruction to include lightmaps, transparancies and texture animations...
03.04.28
XTB Reflex & OMBR Spoilsport Update!: I've also made some long overdue updates to the Reflex and Spoilsport. I've added the forward Transwarp Nacelle that she's supposed to carry, and adjusted surface, damage and weapons problems for both ships...
03.04.23
USS Fox & Coyote Update!: I've made some long overdue updates to the Fox and Coyote, including: An added torp tube, lowered phaser output, lighted hull windows, streamlined nacelles, new nav lights, fixed point lighting, plus other tweaks. Both ships are available in a new download, plus new ingame screenshots...
Plus, I've run into my old pages with pictures of the Fox and Phoenix while still in production...
03.04.12
Stuff I'm Working On : Been a while since I'v had a chance to work on anything, let alone update. Here's a number of ships I'm either working on or have on my "to do" list...
02.11.22
TOS RomPack Screenshots: Figured I might as well spill the beans on what's in store for the 3 undisclosed ships in the TOS RomPack...
02.11.03
Dr. Zephram Cochrane's Phoenix: Anniversary Edition
Phoenix Experimental Shipyards celebrates it's first anniversary! It was a year ago today that I released the Phoenix, so I've done a revamp of the original model that I've wanted to do for quite some time. As well, I've adapted KAAF Thor's RealSol System into a 21st Century Sol System...
02.10.13
Romulan V-11 Stormbird: I finally decided to add a 5th ship to the upcoming TOS Romulan Pack: A V-11 Stormbird, a repainted D-7 in the Romulan Star Navy. I figured I might as well release it as another standalone, kind of a sneak peak at what's to come...
02.09.05
U.S.S. Mary D. Anderson, NCC-1948: A short time ago Joshmaul's grandmother passed away. Last night he contacted me and requested that I outfit a Constitution in her honour...
02.09.03
Here's a brand new TOS Klingon Pack: Due to popular demand I 'bashed together two new TOS Klingon ships, the L-13 Deathstalker CL and the K-29 Reaper DE. They've been repackaged in a new four-ship pack. The Romulan V-8 has been seperated as a standalone download, and will likely be added to a future TOS Rom pack...
02.08.25
Kt'Hyla's new Email: PXS@hotmail.com: Spam. We live with it. We hate it. I've decided to abandon my current Hotmail account (KtHyla@hotmail.com)and make a new one. The daily spam buildup was getting far too stupid for me to bother with, even with the filter SW running at max. I'll still check in on my old account from time to time, but future messages should be sent to PXS@hotmail.com...
02.08.25
Here's an updated TOS Adversaries Pack: The D7 was originally very underpowered. The weapons have been corrected, with heavy disruptors added to balance her out. Also, I've added lighting effects to the windows, something the ships definitely needed...
02.07.03
Doh! The little things one misses... Number 6 pointed out a glitch in the 1701 version of the Connie, in that there were no ginsu surfaces appearing. It was a missing entry in the lws file, so I've thrown together a patch for those that have downloaded the Constitution Refit set on Jul 3rd. Just unzip it into your KA directory and allow it to overwrite. The main download is now fixed and blows up normally... Sorry about that, guys!
02.07.03
Finally, the release of the Constitution Refit! Three loadable ships are available on this one: Enterprise NCC-1701, Enterprise NCC-1701-A & Iroquois NCC-1742. Download all three ships here...
02.07.03
Figured that while I was building the Connie, I might as well 'bash together a replacement Akula...
02.06.20
Just a quick update with new screenshots...
02.05.09
Over the weekend I went to work on the Refit Constitution's textures and found on opening the file in Corel that it was corrupted. This happens from time to time, so I keep backups, but the backup wound up with the same glitch and won't open. Since most of the textures had to be adjusted (alignment, colour, etc) I now have to start them from scratch, putting me back about a month or more on this one. Since so much time's going to have passed by the time I get her released I've decided to release a limited Beta of the work in progress. Very frustrating, but at least I have the original templates and the existing textures to use as guides...
02.04.11
Began to realize I needed TMP Constitution components for a 'bash I needed to do later on, so I figured I'd do what I did with the TOS Connie... See a couple shots of the work in progress here. This one may be a little while in coming, my regular life concerns are taking up more and more of my time lately...
02.03.10
A couple of months ago while looking at screenshots of Minbari_Captian's (then upcoming) BoP I started wondering what it would look like if I were to build it... I started mucking around with LW and eventually came up with this: My own rendition of the Klingon Bird of Prey... I had most of it done by the time M_C had his out, so I decided to delay releasing it so everyone would have some time to enjoy his first.
Also, I've done some tweakings to the Fox (blinking lights, seperatly loadable "Coyote" shp file/textures), and set up a Qbships file with detailed instructions for download...
02.01.28
Due to an apparent traffic problem I've had to set up a mirror for the mod downloads on my old Geocities site. Link to the mirror here... Bear in mind I won't be able to put all of my mods on the mirror due to space limitations, so the TOS Packs will be featured for the moment.
02.01.20
Just a little update: The TOS Constitution 13 (alternate ship names) are now available as stand-alone installs...Grab 'em here...
02.01.13
Here's the release of the TOS Klingon D-7 and Romulan Bird of Prey..., And also the release of the TOS Avenger CL, Saladin DE & Eagle DS rebuilds...
02.01.04
Happy New Year! New screenshots of my TOS Klingon D-7 and Bird of Prey... And also screenies of the TOS Avenger CL, Saladin DE & Eagle DS rebuilds...
01.12.23
Happy Holidays!
Something that's been bugging me for a while is the neglect of the TOS ships that came with KA: They're just not that accurate. So... Swadley5 posts me about re-building the Grand Lady, and that gets me over-imaginitive brain started... And while I was at it I had to put together a shuttlecraft...
Get the re-build of the Constitution and Akula here!
01.12.17
One of the first things found with the DY-100 Was it would self destruct whenever it's bridge was captured. I've added warp definitions to counter this and the updated DY-100 and DY-500 are available here...
It also has better balanced weapons and hull resources...
01.12.10
Saw a gap in the "Pre-TOS Ships to Blow Up" category, so I figured I'd slap Kahn's SS Botany Bay together. You can grab the DY-100 and DY-500 from their Download Page here...
The Fox, Reflex and Spoilsport have had their impulse graphics updated, this corrects something I was doing wrong with the luminosity values. Just a minor visual correction but I figured I'd let you know...
01.12.08
Phoenix version 2.0 is ready! This one includes the cool animation of the engines folding / unfolding by Sector1001, and the TES (Tequila Ejection System... Remember to read the Readme). This, a few minor visual tweaks, and a model for use by the in-game AI...
You can grab Phoenix v2.0 from her Download Page here...
Greetings from the Silo... ;)
01.12.01
Both Akidaa Subspace Sailcraft are now ready for download: ACS Schooner & ACC Cutter... Both ships are included in the same file... Have fun with 'em!
01.11.28
Got the Reflex and the Spoilsport ready for download! D/l pages are at:
Reflex XTB... and
Spoilsport Blockade Runner...
Also, check out pics of my upcoming Akidaa Subspace Sailcraft: ACS Schooner & ACC Cutter...
01.11.15
Got screenshots up of my next mod. The Reflex was a fomer Orion Blockade Runner (aka Spoilsport) that was aquired by Starfleet R&D to be used as a testbed for their FFIX (Full Field Impulse Experiment (2298), hence the third nacelle). She's supposed to be a little smaller than the ST III B'Rel, just to give you an idea of scale.You can see the screenies here. (Aprx. 160k each)
01.11.03
The launch of the Phoenix site! I felt it only fitting that I get the Main Release of Zephram Cochrane's Phoenix ready for the launch of the site. You can grab Phoenix 1.0 from her Download Page here. There will be a version 2.0 later on, since I haven't been able to include a few of the things I wanted to send with her, most notably an animation of the engines folding / unfolding by Sector1001...
01.11.03
With a blessed lack of agonizing hype, Kt'Hyla releases his latest mod, the USS Fox on the KA Community...
Grab her here: USS Fox NCC-7317...

Delon Narvasam Mobile Repair Facility Release! Here's the release of the seperate install for the Delon Narvasam Mobile Drydock, as featured in Romulan Dawn. Enjoy!
I've also posted a sneak preview of the Sindari Cl'Vangas Strike Fighter, of which will be featured in the next installment of the Romulan Dawn missions...
04.08.13
Vastagor Ocalla & Vas'Hatham Refit Release! As I mentioned before, I'll be releasing key ships from Romulan Dawn as seperate installs. In this segment I've made the Talon of Fire & Bird of Prey Refits available. Enjoy!
04.08.05
Romulan Dawn Released! Yes, it's here! The one, the only... Romulan Dawn!!!
On behalf of the Romulan Dawn Team, I have to thank everyone for their patience in waiting for us to release. We didn't want this rushed, rather, we wanted to give you a quality production... and I know you're not going to be dissapointed!
I'll be releasing some of the ships featured in Romulan Dawn through the PXS website over the next couple of weeks as seperate installs. You can download the Romulan Dawn Installer for the Part 1 Missions at Romulan Dawn's main website... Enjoy!!!
04.07.18
Romulan Dawn Ship Preview! Here's another sneak peek at a Ship from Romulan Dawn, the Delon Narvasam Mobile Repair Facility!
04.07.09
Coyote ES Update: I've updated the Coyote's ginsu and overall balancing. I've included two new registries (Timberwolf & Wolverine), and the engines' ginsu now allows you to blow the nacelles off if the pylons are destroyed. Enjoy!
04.06.22
Miranda CL Update: I've repaired a number of weapons and ginsu imbalances in my Mirandas, and was able to reduce the point count on the models by a couple of hundred points as well. No graphical changes, other than the engines' ginsu works properly now, and the Reliants' phasers aren't nearly as overpowered as they once were...
04.06.20
Romulan Dawn Webpage! John recently resurected the Romulan Dawn Website, and I figured I'd provide a link to it...
04.06.12
Romulan Dawn Ship Preview! Since my involvement with Romulan Dawn was revealed a little earlier that we were planning, The RD Team and I have decided to give you guys a sneak preview of two of the ships appearing in the upcoming Romulan Dawn Academy Campagin... the Vas'Hatham and Vastagor Ocalla Refits!
04.05.07
Romulan K'T'Inga Battlecruiser! It's a wonder no one asked about this version of the K'T'Inga, but it was a pretty easy retexture to make. Her stats are identical to the ingame ships' specs... but this rendition looks a bit better! Enjoy! :D
04.04.10
Klingon K'T'Inga Battlecruiser Release! She's a ship that hardly requires an introduction, so I'll keep it short: Here's the main release of my K'T'Inga Battlecruiser! Her stats are identical to the ingame ships' specs. I've also updated the B'Rel's textures to reflect the K'T'Inga's new palette. Enjoy!
04.04.02
Klingon K'T'Inga Battlecruiser Sneak Peek! Wow! it's been far too long since I've had a chance to update, and I'm well behind in those ships I mentioned some time ago. One ship that's sat for far too long is my rendition of the K'T'Inga Battlecruiser, and I've posted screenshots of the completed model. All that needs to be done on this one is the ginsu, then some tweaking and I can let her loose: this should only take a week or two.
Although I know I'm going to be asked, I won't be doing a Qu'Onos One version of the K'T'Inga: I neither have the time, nor did I really like the way she looked. However, rest assured that I have a number of other ships in the pipe that'll more than make up for that... ;)
04.01.04
Happy New Year! A little late, I know, but I haven't had a chance to update much as of late, so many belated apologies as well. I've been working on a private project over the last month, although I expect to put a few things out over the next month or so.
My counter recently turned over 10,000 visitors, it's just so wonderful to have so many people enjoy my mods! Thanks everyone, and enjoy 2004!
03.11.09
D'Vas Class Heavy Battlecruiser!: Here's something you all might enjoy, a TMP-era Romulan BCH and another of my original designs. She's based on a plastic scratchbuild I made back in the late '80s out of foamcore and styrene, and inspired by FASA's V-30 Winged Defender CA...
03.11.03
Vastam'al & Temar Mosarum Assault Shuttles!: Today is Phoenix Experimental Shipyard's second anniversary! I was hoping to have my D'Vas class BCH ready for download, however I'm still a little short of having it done. Instead I've decided to release a set of playable shuttles based on the D'Vas's fighter escort: The H-13 & H-22 Assault Shuttles!
If you had asked me two years ago how long I might have been modding for KA, I would have told you about six months. Here we are two years later, and the Klingon Academy community's still growing! Thanks to everyone, you've made modding for this game a joy and a privilege. :D
03.09.24
HMCS MacKenzie & Pearson!: What with all the Ruskie and Yankie retextures happening on the KlingonAcademy.com Forums I figured it was high time the Canuk colours were flown! What started out as a tounge-in-cheek retexture of the Spoilsport in the ol' Red 'n White, I came up with both dress and combat paint jobs for the new Peacekeeper class...
03.09.16
Various Ship Updates...: I've updated the balancing and ginsu for the USS Fox/Coyote, the Klingon B'Rel & the Reflex/Spoilsport. These ships now have corrected ginsu balancing and reduced point counts. The Fox/Reflex now have better balanced stats against ingame ships, and the B'Rel also has some minor visual updates, including lit windows and a properly modeled impulse section...
03.07.31
OCFF Sortrex Release: Here's another of the ships I came up with in the late '80s / early '90s. She's a rogue Orion Pirate Frigate that terrorized the spacelanes from 2287 to 2301... Enjoy!
03.07.24
TOS Romulan Fleet Release!: At long last the TOS Romulan Fleet Pack is done! Included are three new ships, plus revamps of the Original Bird of Prey and the Stormbird. There's also a history file I've composed explaining some of the history of the Romulan Fleet as well. This concludes my TOS era mod series, consisting of seventeen seperatly loadable ship classes from that era in four packs... Now onto TMP and NX!
Special thanks goes to Why? for putting together the docking animations for the Narvastam Ocalla!
03.07.17
TMP Starfleet Update: Some time ago Reaper pointed out that the weapons on my Refit Constitution weren't taking any damage, so I've corrected the bugs in the surface qualities. This also affected my Akula Refit and the Mary D Anderson. The Miranda wasn't affected, as it's weapons have a different setup.
03.07.11
TOS Starfleet Rebalance!: The TOS Starfleet Ships are rebalanced and re-released. Not nearly as many visual tweaks as the Klingon pack, but now they're balanced against each other much better, and I've also re-arranged the weapons on the Avenger and Eagle...
Phoenix Experimental Shipyard's Angelfire account has also been upgraded, so I now have 500% more bandwidth, and most of the popup ads are gone... Enjoy!
03.07.07
DY-100 Update!: Threw together some new textures for the Botany Bay set the other night. While I was at it I swapped the Spooco's warp engines with the Phoenix's, and adjusted the stats to reflect something more like a ship from the NX-Era. They're now sluggish, have weak guns, and blow up really easy. I also found out some time ago that the DY-500 mentioned in the TNG episode "Up The Long Ladder" had an onscreen graphic, and didn't look much like my mod, so I've changed the designation to DY-250...
03.06.30
TOS Klingon Fleet Update!: Over the next couple of weeks I'll be rebalancing all of my TOS ships, and I'll anounce each navy as I finish them. The Klingons are ready, with better ship balancing and some ginsu corrections to boot. The Starfleet Pack will follow soon, with similar changes, and after that I'll finally be able to get my TOS RomPack done!
03.06.21
USS Reliant & Hephaestus Release!: At long last, the Miranda is done! Two ships in this pack, The Reliant and the Hephaestus... Enjoy!
BTW... Happy Solstice!
03.06.15
Akidaa Sailcraft Update!: And now for an update to my Akidaa Sailcraft Fleet... A new Clipper class ship has been added, plus animated textures added to the sails...
03.06.11
Texture Tutorial Update!: At long last I've finaly gotten around to updating my Textures Tutorial, including with it much needed graphics of Lightwave tools and expanding the instruction to include lightmaps, transparancies and texture animations...
03.04.28
XTB Reflex & OMBR Spoilsport Update!: I've also made some long overdue updates to the Reflex and Spoilsport. I've added the forward Transwarp Nacelle that she's supposed to carry, and adjusted surface, damage and weapons problems for both ships...
03.04.23
USS Fox & Coyote Update!: I've made some long overdue updates to the Fox and Coyote, including: An added torp tube, lowered phaser output, lighted hull windows, streamlined nacelles, new nav lights, fixed point lighting, plus other tweaks. Both ships are available in a new download, plus new ingame screenshots...
Plus, I've run into my old pages with pictures of the Fox and Phoenix while still in production...
03.04.12
Stuff I'm Working On : Been a while since I'v had a chance to work on anything, let alone update. Here's a number of ships I'm either working on or have on my "to do" list...
02.11.22
TOS RomPack Screenshots: Figured I might as well spill the beans on what's in store for the 3 undisclosed ships in the TOS RomPack...
02.11.03
Dr. Zephram Cochrane's Phoenix: Anniversary Edition
Phoenix Experimental Shipyards celebrates it's first anniversary! It was a year ago today that I released the Phoenix, so I've done a revamp of the original model that I've wanted to do for quite some time. As well, I've adapted KAAF Thor's RealSol System into a 21st Century Sol System...
02.10.13
Romulan V-11 Stormbird: I finally decided to add a 5th ship to the upcoming TOS Romulan Pack: A V-11 Stormbird, a repainted D-7 in the Romulan Star Navy. I figured I might as well release it as another standalone, kind of a sneak peak at what's to come...
02.09.05
U.S.S. Mary D. Anderson, NCC-1948: A short time ago Joshmaul's grandmother passed away. Last night he contacted me and requested that I outfit a Constitution in her honour...
02.09.03
Here's a brand new TOS Klingon Pack: Due to popular demand I 'bashed together two new TOS Klingon ships, the L-13 Deathstalker CL and the K-29 Reaper DE. They've been repackaged in a new four-ship pack. The Romulan V-8 has been seperated as a standalone download, and will likely be added to a future TOS Rom pack...
02.08.25
Kt'Hyla's new Email: PXS@hotmail.com: Spam. We live with it. We hate it. I've decided to abandon my current Hotmail account (KtHyla@hotmail.com)and make a new one. The daily spam buildup was getting far too stupid for me to bother with, even with the filter SW running at max. I'll still check in on my old account from time to time, but future messages should be sent to PXS@hotmail.com...
02.08.25
Here's an updated TOS Adversaries Pack: The D7 was originally very underpowered. The weapons have been corrected, with heavy disruptors added to balance her out. Also, I've added lighting effects to the windows, something the ships definitely needed...
02.07.03
Doh! The little things one misses... Number 6 pointed out a glitch in the 1701 version of the Connie, in that there were no ginsu surfaces appearing. It was a missing entry in the lws file, so I've thrown together a patch for those that have downloaded the Constitution Refit set on Jul 3rd. Just unzip it into your KA directory and allow it to overwrite. The main download is now fixed and blows up normally... Sorry about that, guys!
02.07.03
Finally, the release of the Constitution Refit! Three loadable ships are available on this one: Enterprise NCC-1701, Enterprise NCC-1701-A & Iroquois NCC-1742. Download all three ships here...
02.07.03
Figured that while I was building the Connie, I might as well 'bash together a replacement Akula...
02.06.20
Just a quick update with new screenshots...
02.05.09
Over the weekend I went to work on the Refit Constitution's textures and found on opening the file in Corel that it was corrupted. This happens from time to time, so I keep backups, but the backup wound up with the same glitch and won't open. Since most of the textures had to be adjusted (alignment, colour, etc) I now have to start them from scratch, putting me back about a month or more on this one. Since so much time's going to have passed by the time I get her released I've decided to release a limited Beta of the work in progress. Very frustrating, but at least I have the original templates and the existing textures to use as guides...
02.04.11
Began to realize I needed TMP Constitution components for a 'bash I needed to do later on, so I figured I'd do what I did with the TOS Connie... See a couple shots of the work in progress here. This one may be a little while in coming, my regular life concerns are taking up more and more of my time lately...
02.03.10
A couple of months ago while looking at screenshots of Minbari_Captian's (then upcoming) BoP I started wondering what it would look like if I were to build it... I started mucking around with LW and eventually came up with this: My own rendition of the Klingon Bird of Prey... I had most of it done by the time M_C had his out, so I decided to delay releasing it so everyone would have some time to enjoy his first.
Also, I've done some tweakings to the Fox (blinking lights, seperatly loadable "Coyote" shp file/textures), and set up a Qbships file with detailed instructions for download...
02.01.28
Due to an apparent traffic problem I've had to set up a mirror for the mod downloads on my old Geocities site. Link to the mirror here... Bear in mind I won't be able to put all of my mods on the mirror due to space limitations, so the TOS Packs will be featured for the moment.
02.01.20
Just a little update: The TOS Constitution 13 (alternate ship names) are now available as stand-alone installs...Grab 'em here...
02.01.13
Here's the release of the TOS Klingon D-7 and Romulan Bird of Prey..., And also the release of the TOS Avenger CL, Saladin DE & Eagle DS rebuilds...
02.01.04
Happy New Year! New screenshots of my TOS Klingon D-7 and Bird of Prey... And also screenies of the TOS Avenger CL, Saladin DE & Eagle DS rebuilds...
01.12.23
Happy Holidays!
Something that's been bugging me for a while is the neglect of the TOS ships that came with KA: They're just not that accurate. So... Swadley5 posts me about re-building the Grand Lady, and that gets me over-imaginitive brain started... And while I was at it I had to put together a shuttlecraft...
Get the re-build of the Constitution and Akula here!
01.12.17
One of the first things found with the DY-100 Was it would self destruct whenever it's bridge was captured. I've added warp definitions to counter this and the updated DY-100 and DY-500 are available here...
It also has better balanced weapons and hull resources...
01.12.10
Saw a gap in the "Pre-TOS Ships to Blow Up" category, so I figured I'd slap Kahn's SS Botany Bay together. You can grab the DY-100 and DY-500 from their Download Page here...
The Fox, Reflex and Spoilsport have had their impulse graphics updated, this corrects something I was doing wrong with the luminosity values. Just a minor visual correction but I figured I'd let you know...
01.12.08
Phoenix version 2.0 is ready! This one includes the cool animation of the engines folding / unfolding by Sector1001, and the TES (Tequila Ejection System... Remember to read the Readme). This, a few minor visual tweaks, and a model for use by the in-game AI...
You can grab Phoenix v2.0 from her Download Page here...
Greetings from the Silo... ;)
01.12.01
Both Akidaa Subspace Sailcraft are now ready for download: ACS Schooner & ACC Cutter... Both ships are included in the same file... Have fun with 'em!
01.11.28
Got the Reflex and the Spoilsport ready for download! D/l pages are at:
Reflex XTB... and
Spoilsport Blockade Runner...
Also, check out pics of my upcoming Akidaa Subspace Sailcraft: ACS Schooner & ACC Cutter...
01.11.15
Got screenshots up of my next mod. The Reflex was a fomer Orion Blockade Runner (aka Spoilsport) that was aquired by Starfleet R&D to be used as a testbed for their FFIX (Full Field Impulse Experiment (2298), hence the third nacelle). She's supposed to be a little smaller than the ST III B'Rel, just to give you an idea of scale.You can see the screenies here. (Aprx. 160k each)
01.11.03
The launch of the Phoenix site! I felt it only fitting that I get the Main Release of Zephram Cochrane's Phoenix ready for the launch of the site. You can grab Phoenix 1.0 from her Download Page here. There will be a version 2.0 later on, since I haven't been able to include a few of the things I wanted to send with her, most notably an animation of the engines folding / unfolding by Sector1001...
01.11.03
With a blessed lack of agonizing hype, Kt'Hyla releases his latest mod, the USS Fox on the KA Community...
Grab her here: USS Fox NCC-7317...

Romulan Dawn Released! Yes, it's here! The one, the only... Romulan Dawn!!!
On behalf of the Romulan Dawn Team, I have to thank everyone for their patience in waiting for us to release. We didn't want this rushed, rather, we wanted to give you a quality production... and I know you're not going to be dissapointed!
I'll be releasing some of the ships featured in Romulan Dawn through the PXS website over the next couple of weeks as seperate installs. You can download the Romulan Dawn Installer for the Part 1 Missions at Romulan Dawn's main website... Enjoy!!!
04.07.18
Romulan Dawn Ship Preview! Here's another sneak peek at a Ship from Romulan Dawn, the Delon Narvasam Mobile Repair Facility!
04.07.09
Coyote ES Update: I've updated the Coyote's ginsu and overall balancing. I've included two new registries (Timberwolf & Wolverine), and the engines' ginsu now allows you to blow the nacelles off if the pylons are destroyed. Enjoy!
04.06.22
Miranda CL Update: I've repaired a number of weapons and ginsu imbalances in my Mirandas, and was able to reduce the point count on the models by a couple of hundred points as well. No graphical changes, other than the engines' ginsu works properly now, and the Reliants' phasers aren't nearly as overpowered as they once were...
04.06.20
Romulan Dawn Webpage! John recently resurected the Romulan Dawn Website, and I figured I'd provide a link to it...
04.06.12
Romulan Dawn Ship Preview! Since my involvement with Romulan Dawn was revealed a little earlier that we were planning, The RD Team and I have decided to give you guys a sneak preview of two of the ships appearing in the upcoming Romulan Dawn Academy Campagin... the Vas'Hatham and Vastagor Ocalla Refits!
04.05.07
Romulan K'T'Inga Battlecruiser! It's a wonder no one asked about this version of the K'T'Inga, but it was a pretty easy retexture to make. Her stats are identical to the ingame ships' specs... but this rendition looks a bit better! Enjoy! :D
04.04.10
Klingon K'T'Inga Battlecruiser Release! She's a ship that hardly requires an introduction, so I'll keep it short: Here's the main release of my K'T'Inga Battlecruiser! Her stats are identical to the ingame ships' specs. I've also updated the B'Rel's textures to reflect the K'T'Inga's new palette. Enjoy!
04.04.02
Klingon K'T'Inga Battlecruiser Sneak Peek! Wow! it's been far too long since I've had a chance to update, and I'm well behind in those ships I mentioned some time ago. One ship that's sat for far too long is my rendition of the K'T'Inga Battlecruiser, and I've posted screenshots of the completed model. All that needs to be done on this one is the ginsu, then some tweaking and I can let her loose: this should only take a week or two.
Although I know I'm going to be asked, I won't be doing a Qu'Onos One version of the K'T'Inga: I neither have the time, nor did I really like the way she looked. However, rest assured that I have a number of other ships in the pipe that'll more than make up for that... ;)
04.01.04
Happy New Year! A little late, I know, but I haven't had a chance to update much as of late, so many belated apologies as well. I've been working on a private project over the last month, although I expect to put a few things out over the next month or so.
My counter recently turned over 10,000 visitors, it's just so wonderful to have so many people enjoy my mods! Thanks everyone, and enjoy 2004!
03.11.09
D'Vas Class Heavy Battlecruiser!: Here's something you all might enjoy, a TMP-era Romulan BCH and another of my original designs. She's based on a plastic scratchbuild I made back in the late '80s out of foamcore and styrene, and inspired by FASA's V-30 Winged Defender CA...
03.11.03
Vastam'al & Temar Mosarum Assault Shuttles!: Today is Phoenix Experimental Shipyard's second anniversary! I was hoping to have my D'Vas class BCH ready for download, however I'm still a little short of having it done. Instead I've decided to release a set of playable shuttles based on the D'Vas's fighter escort: The H-13 & H-22 Assault Shuttles!
If you had asked me two years ago how long I might have been modding for KA, I would have told you about six months. Here we are two years later, and the Klingon Academy community's still growing! Thanks to everyone, you've made modding for this game a joy and a privilege. :D
03.09.24
HMCS MacKenzie & Pearson!: What with all the Ruskie and Yankie retextures happening on the KlingonAcademy.com Forums I figured it was high time the Canuk colours were flown! What started out as a tounge-in-cheek retexture of the Spoilsport in the ol' Red 'n White, I came up with both dress and combat paint jobs for the new Peacekeeper class...
03.09.16
Various Ship Updates...: I've updated the balancing and ginsu for the USS Fox/Coyote, the Klingon B'Rel & the Reflex/Spoilsport. These ships now have corrected ginsu balancing and reduced point counts. The Fox/Reflex now have better balanced stats against ingame ships, and the B'Rel also has some minor visual updates, including lit windows and a properly modeled impulse section...
03.07.31
OCFF Sortrex Release: Here's another of the ships I came up with in the late '80s / early '90s. She's a rogue Orion Pirate Frigate that terrorized the spacelanes from 2287 to 2301... Enjoy!
03.07.24
TOS Romulan Fleet Release!: At long last the TOS Romulan Fleet Pack is done! Included are three new ships, plus revamps of the Original Bird of Prey and the Stormbird. There's also a history file I've composed explaining some of the history of the Romulan Fleet as well. This concludes my TOS era mod series, consisting of seventeen seperatly loadable ship classes from that era in four packs... Now onto TMP and NX!
Special thanks goes to Why? for putting together the docking animations for the Narvastam Ocalla!
03.07.17
TMP Starfleet Update: Some time ago Reaper pointed out that the weapons on my Refit Constitution weren't taking any damage, so I've corrected the bugs in the surface qualities. This also affected my Akula Refit and the Mary D Anderson. The Miranda wasn't affected, as it's weapons have a different setup.
03.07.11
TOS Starfleet Rebalance!: The TOS Starfleet Ships are rebalanced and re-released. Not nearly as many visual tweaks as the Klingon pack, but now they're balanced against each other much better, and I've also re-arranged the weapons on the Avenger and Eagle...
Phoenix Experimental Shipyard's Angelfire account has also been upgraded, so I now have 500% more bandwidth, and most of the popup ads are gone... Enjoy!
03.07.07
DY-100 Update!: Threw together some new textures for the Botany Bay set the other night. While I was at it I swapped the Spooco's warp engines with the Phoenix's, and adjusted the stats to reflect something more like a ship from the NX-Era. They're now sluggish, have weak guns, and blow up really easy. I also found out some time ago that the DY-500 mentioned in the TNG episode "Up The Long Ladder" had an onscreen graphic, and didn't look much like my mod, so I've changed the designation to DY-250...
03.06.30
TOS Klingon Fleet Update!: Over the next couple of weeks I'll be rebalancing all of my TOS ships, and I'll anounce each navy as I finish them. The Klingons are ready, with better ship balancing and some ginsu corrections to boot. The Starfleet Pack will follow soon, with similar changes, and after that I'll finally be able to get my TOS RomPack done!
03.06.21
USS Reliant & Hephaestus Release!: At long last, the Miranda is done! Two ships in this pack, The Reliant and the Hephaestus... Enjoy!
BTW... Happy Solstice!
03.06.15
Akidaa Sailcraft Update!: And now for an update to my Akidaa Sailcraft Fleet... A new Clipper class ship has been added, plus animated textures added to the sails...
03.06.11
Texture Tutorial Update!: At long last I've finaly gotten around to updating my Textures Tutorial, including with it much needed graphics of Lightwave tools and expanding the instruction to include lightmaps, transparancies and texture animations...
03.04.28
XTB Reflex & OMBR Spoilsport Update!: I've also made some long overdue updates to the Reflex and Spoilsport. I've added the forward Transwarp Nacelle that she's supposed to carry, and adjusted surface, damage and weapons problems for both ships...
03.04.23
USS Fox & Coyote Update!: I've made some long overdue updates to the Fox and Coyote, including: An added torp tube, lowered phaser output, lighted hull windows, streamlined nacelles, new nav lights, fixed point lighting, plus other tweaks. Both ships are available in a new download, plus new ingame screenshots...
Plus, I've run into my old pages with pictures of the Fox and Phoenix while still in production...
03.04.12
Stuff I'm Working On : Been a while since I'v had a chance to work on anything, let alone update. Here's a number of ships I'm either working on or have on my "to do" list...
02.11.22
TOS RomPack Screenshots: Figured I might as well spill the beans on what's in store for the 3 undisclosed ships in the TOS RomPack...
02.11.03
Dr. Zephram Cochrane's Phoenix: Anniversary Edition
Phoenix Experimental Shipyards celebrates it's first anniversary! It was a year ago today that I released the Phoenix, so I've done a revamp of the original model that I've wanted to do for quite some time. As well, I've adapted KAAF Thor's RealSol System into a 21st Century Sol System...
02.10.13
Romulan V-11 Stormbird: I finally decided to add a 5th ship to the upcoming TOS Romulan Pack: A V-11 Stormbird, a repainted D-7 in the Romulan Star Navy. I figured I might as well release it as another standalone, kind of a sneak peak at what's to come...
02.09.05
U.S.S. Mary D. Anderson, NCC-1948: A short time ago Joshmaul's grandmother passed away. Last night he contacted me and requested that I outfit a Constitution in her honour...
02.09.03
Here's a brand new TOS Klingon Pack: Due to popular demand I 'bashed together two new TOS Klingon ships, the L-13 Deathstalker CL and the K-29 Reaper DE. They've been repackaged in a new four-ship pack. The Romulan V-8 has been seperated as a standalone download, and will likely be added to a future TOS Rom pack...
02.08.25
Kt'Hyla's new Email: PXS@hotmail.com: Spam. We live with it. We hate it. I've decided to abandon my current Hotmail account (KtHyla@hotmail.com)and make a new one. The daily spam buildup was getting far too stupid for me to bother with, even with the filter SW running at max. I'll still check in on my old account from time to time, but future messages should be sent to PXS@hotmail.com...
02.08.25
Here's an updated TOS Adversaries Pack: The D7 was originally very underpowered. The weapons have been corrected, with heavy disruptors added to balance her out. Also, I've added lighting effects to the windows, something the ships definitely needed...
02.07.03
Doh! The little things one misses... Number 6 pointed out a glitch in the 1701 version of the Connie, in that there were no ginsu surfaces appearing. It was a missing entry in the lws file, so I've thrown together a patch for those that have downloaded the Constitution Refit set on Jul 3rd. Just unzip it into your KA directory and allow it to overwrite. The main download is now fixed and blows up normally... Sorry about that, guys!
02.07.03
Finally, the release of the Constitution Refit! Three loadable ships are available on this one: Enterprise NCC-1701, Enterprise NCC-1701-A & Iroquois NCC-1742. Download all three ships here...
02.07.03
Figured that while I was building the Connie, I might as well 'bash together a replacement Akula...
02.06.20
Just a quick update with new screenshots...
02.05.09

I also found out some time ago that the DY-500 mentioned in the TNG episode "Up The Long Ladder" had an onscreen graphic, and didn't look much like my mod, so I've changed the designation to DY-250...
03.06.30
TOS Klingon Fleet Update!: Over the next couple of weeks I'll be rebalancing all of my TOS ships, and I'll anounce each navy as I finish them. The Klingons are ready, with better ship balancing and some ginsu corrections to boot. The Starfleet Pack will follow soon, with similar changes, and after that I'll finally be able to get my TOS RomPack done!
03.06.21
USS Reliant & Hephaestus Release!: At long last, the Miranda is done! Two ships in this pack, The Reliant and the Hephaestus... Enjoy!
BTW... Happy Solstice!
03.06.15
Akidaa Sailcraft Update!: And now for an update to my Akidaa Sailcraft Fleet... A new Clipper class ship has been added, plus animated textures added to the sails...
03.06.11
Texture Tutorial Update!: At long last I've finaly gotten around to updating my Textures Tutorial, including with it much needed graphics of Lightwave tools and expanding the instruction to include lightmaps, transparancies and texture animations...
03.04.28
XTB Reflex & OMBR Spoilsport Update!: I've also made some long overdue updates to the Reflex and Spoilsport. I've added the forward Transwarp Nacelle that she's supposed to carry, and adjusted surface, damage and weapons problems for both ships...
03.04.23
USS Fox & Coyote Update!: I've made some long overdue updates to the Fox and Coyote, including: An added torp tube, lowered phaser output, lighted hull windows, streamlined nacelles, new nav lights, fixed point lighting, plus other tweaks. Both ships are available in a new download, plus new ingame screenshots...
Plus, I've run into my old pages with pictures of the Fox and Phoenix while still in production...
03.04.12
Stuff I'm Working On : Been a while since I'v had a chance to work on anything, let alone update. Here's a number of ships I'm either working on or have on my "to do" list...
02.11.22
TOS RomPack Screenshots: Figured I might as well spill the beans on what's in store for the 3 undisclosed ships in the TOS RomPack...
02.11.03
Dr. Zephram Cochrane's Phoenix: Anniversary Edition
Phoenix Experimental Shipyards celebrates it's first anniversary! It was a year ago today that I released the Phoenix, so I've done a revamp of the original model that I've wanted to do for quite some time. As well, I've adapted KAAF Thor's RealSol System into a 21st Century Sol System...
02.10.13
Romulan V-11 Stormbird: I finally decided to add a 5th ship to the upcoming TOS Romulan Pack: A V-11 Stormbird, a repainted D-7 in the Romulan Star Navy. I figured I might as well release it as another standalone, kind of a sneak peak at what's to come...
02.09.05
U.S.S. Mary D. Anderson, NCC-1948: A short time ago Joshmaul's grandmother passed away. Last night he contacted me and requested that I outfit a Constitution in her honour...
02.09.03
Here's a brand new TOS Klingon Pack: Due to popular demand I 'bashed together two new TOS Klingon ships, the L-13 Deathstalker CL and the K-29 Reaper DE. They've been repackaged in a new four-ship pack. The Romulan V-8 has been seperated as a standalone download, and will likely be added to a future TOS Rom pack...
02.08.25
Kt'Hyla's new Email: PXS@hotmail.com: Spam. We live with it. We hate it. I've decided to abandon my current Hotmail account (KtHyla@hotmail.com)and make a new one. The daily spam buildup was getting far too stupid for me to bother with, even with the filter SW running at max. I'll still check in on my old account from time to time, but future messages should be sent to PXS@hotmail.com...
02.08.25
Here's an updated TOS Adversaries Pack: The D7 was originally very underpowered. The weapons have been corrected, with heavy disruptors added to balance her out. Also, I've added lighting effects to the windows, something the ships definitely needed...
02.07.03
Doh! The little things one misses... Number 6 pointed out a glitch in the 1701 version of the Connie, in that there were no ginsu surfaces appearing. It was a missing entry in the lws file, so I've thrown together a patch for those that have downloaded the Constitution Refit set on Jul 3rd. Just unzip it into your KA directory and allow it to overwrite. The main download is now fixed and blows up normally... Sorry about that, guys!
02.07.03
Finally, the release of the Constitution Refit! Three loadable ships are available on this one: Enterprise NCC-1701, Enterprise NCC-1701-A & Iroquois NCC-1742. Download all three ships here...
02.07.03
Figured that while I was building the Connie, I might as well 'bash together a replacement Akula...
02.06.20
Just a quick update with new screenshots...
02.05.09
Over the weekend I went to work on the Refit Constitution's textures and found on opening the file in Corel that it was corrupted. This happens from time to time, so I keep backups, but the backup wound up with the same glitch and won't open. Since most of the textures had to be adjusted (alignment, colour, etc) I now have to start them from scratch, putting me back about a month or more on this one. Since so much time's going to have passed by the time I get her released I've decided to release a limited Beta of the work in progress. Very frustrating, but at least I have the original templates and the existing textures to use as guides...
02.04.11
Began to realize I needed TMP Constitution components for a 'bash I needed to do later on, so I figured I'd do what I did with the TOS Connie... See a couple shots of the work in progress here. This one may be a little while in coming, my regular life concerns are taking up more and more of my time lately...
02.03.10
A couple of months ago while looking at screenshots of Minbari_Captian's (then upcoming) BoP I started wondering what it would look like if I were to build it... I started mucking around with LW and eventually came up with this: My own rendition of the Klingon Bird of Prey... I had most of it done by the time M_C had his out, so I decided to delay releasing it so everyone would have some time to enjoy his first.
Also, I've done some tweakings to the Fox (blinking lights, seperatly loadable "Coyote" shp file/textures), and set up a Qbships file with detailed instructions for download...
02.01.28
Due to an apparent traffic problem I've had to set up a mirror for the mod downloads on my old Geocities site. Link to the mirror here... Bear in mind I won't be able to put all of my mods on the mirror due to space limitations, so the TOS Packs will be featured for the moment.
02.01.20
Just a little update: The TOS Constitution 13 (alternate ship names) are now available as stand-alone installs...Grab 'em here...
02.01.13
Here's the release of the TOS Klingon D-7 and Romulan Bird of Prey..., And also the release of the TOS Avenger CL, Saladin DE & Eagle DS rebuilds...
02.01.04
Happy New Year! New screenshots of my TOS Klingon D-7 and Bird of Prey... And also screenies of the TOS Avenger CL, Saladin DE & Eagle DS rebuilds...
01.12.23
Happy Holidays!
Something that's been bugging me for a while is the neglect of the TOS ships that came with KA: They're just not that accurate. So... Swadley5 posts me about re-building the Grand Lady, and that gets me over-imaginitive brain started... And while I was at it I had to put together a shuttlecraft...
Get the re-build of the Constitution and Akula here!
01.12.17
One of the first things found with the DY-100 Was it would self destruct whenever it's bridge was captured. I've added warp definitions to counter this and the updated DY-100 and DY-500 are available here...
It also has better balanced weapons and hull resources...
01.12.10
Saw a gap in the "Pre-TOS Ships to Blow Up" category, so I figured I'd slap Kahn's SS Botany Bay together. You can grab the DY-100 and DY-500 from their Download Page here...
The Fox, Reflex and Spoilsport have had their impulse graphics updated, this corrects something I was doing wrong with the luminosity values. Just a minor visual correction but I figured I'd let you know...
01.12.08
Phoenix version 2.0 is ready! This one includes the cool animation of the engines folding / unfolding by Sector1001, and the TES (Tequila Ejection System... Remember to read the Readme). This, a few minor visual tweaks, and a model for use by the in-game AI...
You can grab Phoenix v2.0 from her Download Page here...
Greetings from the Silo... ;)
01.12.01
Both Akidaa Subspace Sailcraft are now ready for download: ACS Schooner & ACC Cutter... Both ships are included in the same file... Have fun with 'em!
01.11.28
Got the Reflex and the Spoilsport ready for download! D/l pages are at:
Reflex XTB... and
Spoilsport Blockade Runner...
Also, check out pics of my upcoming Akidaa Subspace Sailcraft: ACS Schooner & ACC Cutter...
01.11.15
Got screenshots up of my next mod. The Reflex was a fomer Orion Blockade Runner (aka Spoilsport) that was aquired by Starfleet R&D to be used as a testbed for their FFIX (Full Field Impulse Experiment (2298), hence the third nacelle). She's supposed to be a little smaller than the ST III B'Rel, just to give you an idea of scale.You can see the screenies here. (Aprx. 160k each)
01.11.03
The launch of the Phoenix site! I felt it only fitting that I get the Main Release of Zephram Cochrane's Phoenix ready for the launch of the site. You can grab Phoenix 1.0 from her Download Page here. There will be a version 2.0 later on, since I haven't been able to include a few of the things I wanted to send with her, most notably an animation of the engines folding / unfolding by Sector1001...
01.11.03
With a blessed lack of agonizing hype, Kt'Hyla releases his latest mod, the USS Fox on the KA Community...
Grab her here: USS Fox NCC-7317...

Romulan Dawn Webpage! John recently resurected the Romulan Dawn Website, and I figured I'd provide a link to it...
04.06.12
Romulan Dawn Ship Preview! Since my involvement with Romulan Dawn was revealed a little earlier that we were planning, The RD Team and I have decided to give you guys a sneak preview of two of the ships appearing in the upcoming Romulan Dawn Academy Campagin... the Vas'Hatham and Vastagor Ocalla Refits!
04.05.07
Romulan K'T'Inga Battlecruiser! It's a wonder no one asked about this version of the K'T'Inga, but it was a pretty easy retexture to make. Her stats are identical to the ingame ships' specs... but this rendition looks a bit better! Enjoy! :D
04.04.10
Klingon K'T'Inga Battlecruiser Release! She's a ship that hardly requires an introduction, so I'll keep it short: Here's the main release of my K'T'Inga Battlecruiser! Her stats are identical to the ingame ships' specs. I've also updated the B'Rel's textures to reflect the K'T'Inga's new palette. Enjoy!
04.04.02
Klingon K'T'Inga Battlecruiser Sneak Peek! Wow! it's been far too long since I've had a chance to update, and I'm well behind in those ships I mentioned some time ago. One ship that's sat for far too long is my rendition of the K'T'Inga Battlecruiser, and I've posted screenshots of the completed model. All that needs to be done on this one is the ginsu, then some tweaking and I can let her loose: this should only take a week or two.
Although I know I'm going to be asked, I won't be doing a Qu'Onos One version of the K'T'Inga: I neither have the time, nor did I really like the way she looked. However, rest assured that I have a number of other ships in the pipe that'll more than make up for that... ;)
04.01.04
Happy New Year! A little late, I know, but I haven't had a chance to update much as of late, so many belated apologies as well. I've been working on a private project over the last month, although I expect to put a few things out over the next month or so.
My counter recently turned over 10,000 visitors, it's just so wonderful to have so many people enjoy my mods! Thanks everyone, and enjoy 2004!
03.11.09
D'Vas Class Heavy Battlecruiser!: Here's something you all might enjoy, a TMP-era Romulan BCH and another of my original designs. She's based on a plastic scratchbuild I made back in the late '80s out of foamcore and styrene, and inspired by FASA's V-30 Winged Defender CA...
03.11.03
Vastam'al & Temar Mosarum Assault Shuttles!: Today is Phoenix Experimental Shipyard's second anniversary! I was hoping to have my D'Vas class BCH ready for download, however I'm still a little short of having it done. Instead I've decided to release a set of playable shuttles based on the D'Vas's fighter escort: The H-13 & H-22 Assault Shuttles!
If you had asked me two years ago how long I might have been modding for KA, I would have told you about six months. Here we are two years later, and the Klingon Academy community's still growing! Thanks to everyone, you've made modding for this game a joy and a privilege. :D
03.09.24
HMCS MacKenzie & Pearson!: What with all the Ruskie and Yankie retextures happening on the KlingonAcademy.com Forums I figured it was high time the Canuk colours were flown! What started out as a tounge-in-cheek retexture of the Spoilsport in the ol' Red 'n White, I came up with both dress and combat paint jobs for the new Peacekeeper class...
03.09.16
Various Ship Updates...: I've updated the balancing and ginsu for the USS Fox/Coyote, the Klingon B'Rel & the Reflex/Spoilsport. These ships now have corrected ginsu balancing and reduced point counts. The Fox/Reflex now have better balanced stats against ingame ships, and the B'Rel also has some minor visual updates, including lit windows and a properly modeled impulse section...
03.07.31
OCFF Sortrex Release: Here's another of the ships I came up with in the late '80s / early '90s. She's a rogue Orion Pirate Frigate that terrorized the spacelanes from 2287 to 2301... Enjoy!
03.07.24
TOS Romulan Fleet Release!: At long last the TOS Romulan Fleet Pack is done! Included are three new ships, plus revamps of the Original Bird of Prey and the Stormbird. There's also a history file I've composed explaining some of the history of the Romulan Fleet as well. This concludes my TOS era mod series, consisting of seventeen seperatly loadable ship classes from that era in four packs... Now onto TMP and NX!
Special thanks goes to Why? for putting together the docking animations for the Narvastam Ocalla!
03.07.17
TMP Starfleet Update: Some time ago Reaper pointed out that the weapons on my Refit Constitution weren't taking any damage, so I've corrected the bugs in the surface qualities. This also affected my Akula Refit and the Mary D Anderson. The Miranda wasn't affected, as it's weapons have a different setup.
03.07.11
TOS Starfleet Rebalance!: The TOS Starfleet Ships are rebalanced and re-released. Not nearly as many visual tweaks as the Klingon pack, but now they're balanced against each other much better, and I've also re-arranged the weapons on the Avenger and Eagle...
Phoenix Experimental Shipyard's Angelfire account has also been upgraded, so I now have 500% more bandwidth, and most of the popup ads are gone... Enjoy!
03.07.07
DY-100 Update!: Threw together some new textures for the Botany Bay set the other night. While I was at it I swapped the Spooco's warp engines with the Phoenix's, and adjusted the stats to reflect something more like a ship from the NX-Era. They're now sluggish, have weak guns, and blow up really easy. I also found out some time ago that the DY-500 mentioned in the TNG episode "Up The Long Ladder" had an onscreen graphic, and didn't look much like my mod, so I've changed the designation to DY-250...
03.06.30
TOS Klingon Fleet Update!: Over the next couple of weeks I'll be rebalancing all of my TOS ships, and I'll anounce each navy as I finish them. The Klingons are ready, with better ship balancing and some ginsu corrections to boot.

I was hoping to have my D'Vas class BCH ready for download, however I'm still a little short of having it done. Instead I've decided to release a set of playable shuttles based on the D'Vas's fighter escort: The H-13 & H-22 Assault Shuttles!
If you had asked me two years ago how long I might have been modding for KA, I would have told you about six months. Here we are two years later, and the Klingon Academy community's still growing! Thanks to everyone, you've made modding for this game a joy and a privilege. :D
03.09.24
HMCS MacKenzie & Pearson!: What with all the Ruskie and Yankie retextures happening on the KlingonAcademy.com Forums I figured it was high time the Canuk colours were flown! What started out as a tounge-in-cheek retexture of the Spoilsport in the ol' Red 'n White, I came up with both dress and combat paint jobs for the new Peacekeeper class...
03.09.16
Various Ship Updates...: I've updated the balancing and ginsu for the USS Fox/Coyote, the Klingon B'Rel & the Reflex/Spoilsport. These ships now have corrected ginsu balancing and reduced point counts. The Fox/Reflex now have better balanced stats against ingame ships, and the B'Rel also has some minor visual updates, including lit windows and a properly modeled impulse section...
03.07.31
OCFF Sortrex Release: Here's another of the ships I came up with in the late '80s / early '90s. She's a rogue Orion Pirate Frigate that terrorized the spacelanes from 2287 to 2301... Enjoy!
03.07.24
TOS Romulan Fleet Release!: At long last the TOS Romulan Fleet Pack is done! Included are three new ships, plus revamps of the Original Bird of Prey and the Stormbird. There's also a history file I've composed explaining some of the history of the Romulan Fleet as well. This concludes my TOS era mod series, consisting of seventeen seperatly loadable ship classes from that era in four packs... Now onto TMP and NX!
Special thanks goes to Why? for putting together the docking animations for the Narvastam Ocalla!
03.07.17
TMP Starfleet Update: Some time ago Reaper pointed out that the weapons on my Refit Constitution weren't taking any damage, so I've corrected the bugs in the surface qualities. This also affected my Akula Refit and the Mary D Anderson. The Miranda wasn't affected, as it's weapons have a different setup.
03.07.11
TOS Starfleet Rebalance!: The TOS Starfleet Ships are rebalanced and re-released. Not nearly as many visual tweaks as the Klingon pack, but now they're balanced against each other much better, and I've also re-arranged the weapons on the Avenger and Eagle...
Phoenix Experimental Shipyard's Angelfire account has also been upgraded, so I now have 500% more bandwidth, and most of the popup ads are gone... Enjoy!
03.07.07
DY-100 Update!: Threw together some new textures for the Botany Bay set the other night. While I was at it I swapped the Spooco's warp engines with the Phoenix's, and adjusted the stats to reflect something more like a ship from the NX-Era. They're now sluggish, have weak guns, and blow up really easy. I also found out some time ago that the DY-500 mentioned in the TNG episode "Up The Long Ladder" had an onscreen graphic, and didn't look much like my mod, so I've changed the designation to DY-250...
03.06.30
TOS Klingon Fleet Update!: Over the next couple of weeks I'll be rebalancing all of my TOS ships, and I'll anounce each navy as I finish them. The Klingons are ready, with better ship balancing and some ginsu corrections to boot. The Starfleet Pack will follow soon, with similar changes, and after that I'll finally be able to get my TOS RomPack done!
03.06.21
USS Reliant & Hephaestus Release!: At long last, the Miranda is done! Two ships in this pack, The Reliant and the Hephaestus... Enjoy!
BTW... Happy Solstice!
03.06.15
Akidaa Sailcraft Update!: And now for an update to my Akidaa Sailcraft Fleet... A new Clipper class ship has been added, plus animated textures added to the sails...
03.06.11
Texture Tutorial Update!: At long last I've finaly gotten around to updating my Textures Tutorial, including with it much needed graphics of Lightwave tools and expanding the instruction to include lightmaps, transparancies and texture animations...
03.04.28
XTB Reflex & OMBR Spoilsport Update!: I've also made some long overdue updates to the Reflex and Spoilsport. I've added the forward Transwarp Nacelle that she's supposed to carry, and adjusted surface, damage and weapons problems for both ships...
03.04.23
USS Fox & Coyote Update!: I've made some long overdue updates to the Fox and Coyote, including: An added torp tube, lowered phaser output, lighted hull windows, streamlined nacelles, new nav lights, fixed point lighting, plus other tweaks. Both ships are available in a new download, plus new ingame screenshots...
Plus, I've run into my old pages with pictures of the Fox and Phoenix while still in production...
03.04.12
Stuff I'm Working On : Been a while since I'v had a chance to work on anything, let alone update. Here's a number of ships I'm either working on or have on my "to do" list...
02.11.22
TOS RomPack Screenshots: Figured I might as well spill the beans on what's in store for the 3 undisclosed ships in the TOS RomPack...
02.11.03
Dr. Zephram Cochrane's Phoenix: Anniversary Edition
Phoenix Experimental Shipyards celebrates it's first anniversary! It was a year ago today that I released the Phoenix, so I've done a revamp of the original model that I've wanted to do for quite some time. As well, I've adapted KAAF Thor's RealSol System into a 21st Century Sol System...
02.10.13
Romulan V-11 Stormbird: I finally decided to add a 5th ship to the upcoming TOS Romulan Pack: A V-11 Stormbird, a repainted D-7 in the Romulan Star Navy. I figured I might as well release it as another standalone, kind of a sneak peak at what's to come...
02.09.05
U.S.S. Mary D. Anderson, NCC-1948: A short time ago Joshmaul's grandmother passed away. Last night he contacted me and requested that I outfit a Constitution in her honour...
02.09.03
Here's a brand new TOS Klingon Pack: Due to popular demand I 'bashed together two new TOS Klingon ships, the L-13 Deathstalker CL and the K-29 Reaper DE. They've been repackaged in a new four-ship pack. The Romulan V-8 has been seperated as a standalone download, and will likely be added to a future TOS Rom pack...
02.08.25
Kt'Hyla's new Email: PXS@hotmail.com: Spam. We live with it. We hate it. I've decided to abandon my current Hotmail account (KtHyla@hotmail.com)and make a new one. The daily spam buildup was getting far too stupid for me to bother with, even with the filter SW running at max. I'll still check in on my old account from time to time, but future messages should be sent to PXS@hotmail.com...
02.08.25
Here's an updated TOS Adversaries Pack: The D7 was originally very underpowered. The weapons have been corrected, with heavy disruptors added to balance her out. Also, I've added lighting effects to the windows, something the ships definitely needed...
02.07.03
Doh! The little things one misses... Number 6 pointed out a glitch in the 1701 version of the Connie, in that there were no ginsu surfaces appearing. It was a missing entry in the lws file, so I've thrown together a patch for those that have downloaded the Constitution Refit set on Jul 3rd. Just unzip it into your KA directory and allow it to overwrite. The main download is now fixed and blows up normally... Sorry about that, guys!
02.07.03
Finally, the release of the Constitution Refit! Three loadable ships are available on this one: Enterprise NCC-1701, Enterprise NCC-1701-A & Iroquois NCC-1742. Download all three ships here...
02.07.03
Figured that while I was building the Connie, I might as well 'bash together a replacement Akula...
02.06.20
Just a quick update with new screenshots...
02.05.09
Over the weekend I went to work on the Refit Constitution's textures and found on opening the file in Corel that it was corrupted. This happens from time to time, so I keep backups, but the backup wound up with the same glitch and won't open. Since most of the textures had to be adjusted (alignment, colour, etc) I now have to start them from scratch, putting me back about a month or more on this one. Since so much time's going to have passed by the time I get her released I've decided to release a limited Beta of the work in progress. Very frustrating, but at least I have the original templates and the existing textures to use as guides...
02.04.11
Began to realize I needed TMP Constitution components for a 'bash I needed to do later on, so I figured I'd do what I did with the TOS Connie... See a couple shots of the work in progress here. This one may be a little while in coming, my regular life concerns are taking up more and more of my time lately...
02.03.10
A couple of months ago while looking at screenshots of Minbari_Captian's (then upcoming) BoP I started wondering what it would look like if I were to build it... I started mucking around with LW and eventually came up with this: My own rendition of the Klingon Bird of Prey... I had most of it done by the time M_C had his out, so I decided to delay releasing it so everyone would have some time to enjoy his first.
Also, I've done some tweakings to the Fox (blinking lights, seperatly loadable "Coyote" shp file/textures), and set up a Qbships file with detailed instructions for download...
02.01.28
Due to an apparent traffic problem I've had to set up a mirror for the mod downloads on my old Geocities site. Link to the mirror here... Bear in mind I won't be able to put all of my mods on the mirror due to space limitations, so the TOS Packs will be featured for the moment.
02.01.20
Just a little update: The TOS Constitution 13 (alternate ship names) are now available as stand-alone installs...Grab 'em here...
02.01.13
Here's the release of the TOS Klingon D-7 and Romulan Bird of Prey..., And also the release of the TOS Avenger CL, Saladin DE & Eagle DS rebuilds...
02.01.04
Happy New Year! New screenshots of my TOS Klingon D-7 and Bird of Prey... And also screenies of the TOS Avenger CL, Saladin DE & Eagle DS rebuilds...
01.12.23
Happy Holidays!
Something that's been bugging me for a while is the neglect of the TOS ships that came with KA: They're just not that accurate. So... Swadley5 posts me about re-building the Grand Lady, and that gets me over-imaginitive brain started... And while I was at it I had to put together a shuttlecraft...
Get the re-build of the Constitution and Akula here!
01.12.17
One of the first things found with the DY-100 Was it would self destruct whenever it's bridge was captured. I've added warp definitions to counter this and the updated DY-100 and DY-500 are available here...
It also has better balanced weapons and hull resources...
01.12.10
Saw a gap in the "Pre-TOS Ships to Blow Up" category, so I figured I'd slap Kahn's SS Botany Bay together. You can grab the DY-100 and DY-500 from their Download Page here...
The Fox, Reflex and Spoilsport have had their impulse graphics updated, this corrects something I was doing wrong with the luminosity values. Just a minor visual correction but I figured I'd let you know...
01.12.08
Phoenix version 2.0 is ready! This one includes the cool animation of the engines folding / unfolding by Sector1001, and the TES (Tequila Ejection System... Remember to read the Readme). This, a few minor visual tweaks, and a model for use by the in-game AI...
You can grab Phoenix v2.0 from her Download Page here...
Greetings from the Silo... ;)
01.12.01
Both Akidaa Subspace Sailcraft are now ready for download: ACS Schooner & ACC Cutter... Both ships are included in the same file... Have fun with 'em!
01.11.28
Got the Reflex and the Spoilsport ready for download! D/l pages are at:
Reflex XTB... and
Spoilsport Blockade Runner...
Also, check out pics of my upcoming Akidaa Subspace Sailcraft: ACS Schooner & ACC Cutter...
01.11.15
Got screenshots up of my next mod. The Reflex was a fomer Orion Blockade Runner (aka Spoilsport) that was aquired by Starfleet R&D to be used as a testbed for their FFIX (Full Field Impulse Experiment (2298), hence the third nacelle). She's supposed to be a little smaller than the ST III B'Rel, just to give you an idea of scale.You can see the screenies here. (Aprx. 160k each)
01.11.03
The launch of the Phoenix site! I felt it only fitting that I get the Main Release of Zephram Cochrane's Phoenix ready for the launch of the site. You can grab Phoenix 1.0 from her Download Page here. There will be a version 2.0 later on, since I haven't been able to include a few of the things I wanted to send with her, most notably an animation of the engines folding / unfolding by Sector1001...
01.11.03
With a blessed lack of agonizing hype, Kt'Hyla releases his latest mod, the USS Fox on the KA Community...
Grab her here: USS Fox NCC-7317...

Klingon K'T'Inga Battlecruiser Sneak Peek! Wow! it's been far too long since I've had a chance to update, and I'm well behind in those ships I mentioned some time ago. One ship that's sat for far too long is my rendition of the K'T'Inga Battlecruiser, and I've posted screenshots of the completed model. All that needs to be done on this one is the ginsu, then some tweaking and I can let her loose: this should only take a week or two.
Although I know I'm going to be asked, I won't be doing a Qu'Onos One version of the K'T'Inga: I neither have the time, nor did I really like the way she looked. However, rest assured that I have a number of other ships in the pipe that'll more than make up for that... ;)
04.01.04
Happy New Year! A little late, I know, but I haven't had a chance to update much as of late, so many belated apologies as well. I've been working on a private project over the last month, although I expect to put a few things out over the next month or so.
My counter recently turned over 10,000 visitors, it's just so wonderful to have so many people enjoy my mods! Thanks everyone, and enjoy 2004!
03.11.09
D'Vas Class Heavy Battlecruiser!: Here's something you all might enjoy, a TMP-era Romulan BCH and another of my original designs. She's based on a plastic scratchbuild I made back in the late '80s out of foamcore and styrene, and inspired by FASA's V-30 Winged Defender CA...
03.11.03
