Presentation
============
Freelancer Companion is a new cool tool for Freelancer Traders and Mod makers.
For traders because it is an advanced traderoute calculator. (see features below)
For modders because it parses a lot of ini files and will display a list of 
  errors encountered in your mods so you can fix them if you are the author,
  and also it can help you balance your trade routes

Features
========
- Display full trade routes including complete path (with trade lanes & jumps) and exact time taken
- Real-time calculation of best trade routes based on profit & route time
- Shows Universe & Systems Maps (scrollable & zoomable), including precise trade route highlight
- Speed & time settings are configurable to adapt your own navigation profile
- Sort the display by commodities, bases, profit, time by clicking on the column header
- Fully based on your game/mods files, no precalculated tables or information
- Displays map location for waypoints (+/- delta refers to the zoomed map lines)
- Errors found in mods are displayed in a log window (to help mods author)
