The freelancer little helper :)

clear the old lancerthing folder of all files - then unzip all the files into your chosen folder

make a shortcut to lancer.exe in your folder on the desktop 
off you go (again)

Start form

1. Ships 	- gives you the base data for all pilotable ships

2. Map 	- gives u an overview and the interconnectivity of the systems - click a system or use the dropdown to get a detail map

	- Detail maps 	- scales as close as I could get them. NB In Freelancer, the maps do NOT accurately show the data positions of objects
			  so I have tried to emulate the positions as shown in freelancer maps
			- Click the base name or icon on map to get sell prices
			- click a secret icon to get the name/specials

3. Base Prices	- select from drop down and click get info

4. Weaponry	- all guns and turrets by level or by maker, and general info/advice, and shields and etc etc

5. Surprises	- what all the surprise ships give you (don't use if u want to explore yourself)

Comments: I adjusted the map scales to make the items appear as close to the freelancer map as possible. As far as I can make it I have found all the guns and turrets, except for Rowletts Revenge, which I assume to be a developers plaything.
The hidden wrecks are as close to actuality as I could make it considering 1/3 of them are only reachable in dire circumstances :)
