I decided to make this guide after trying to find a good ship to buy in
Freelancer. There is another ship guide, but it is hidden in a walkthrough.
But I want to go a step further, so as I build up my database I'll be added
data about the bases, who runs the base, the allies, the enemies, and how you
can easily get in without annoying the wrong people.

VERSION HISTORY
0.3: First version
-Most ships from the Brettonia System are in. Some ships from the Kusari
System have been added. I plan to have the Liberty ships in soon, just
need to get through the hostile police presence :)
-I have no base info in, I'll need to go to the bases to see who runs them
then I'll have to check the allies and enemies.
0.4: Second version
-The base info can wait till I have all the ship info in, but I'll put the
rogue bases in just so you know what bases are harder to get into. They
always have the best ships.
0.5: Third Version
-I have added a list of sites that emailed me to get permission to post
this guide. I have a fair few ships listed, not all though, and I would
really appreciate emails filling out the unknowns I have. Also, if you
know a location of a ship I have not found, please tell me.
0.7: Fourth Version
-I know I skipped a number, but this is a largish update, almost all ships
are in, I just need to get locations for them. I'll start getting base
info soon. Till then, stay posted.
0.8: Fifth Version
-Very long time since last update, I was busy playing games other than
Freelancer. Got the ultimate config posted, I'll tidy it up later. Also
a few people emailed me with stuff to add so I put it in.
0.9: Sixth Version
-Another Long Time without an update... I no longer have Freelancer, so
this will practically be the final update.
1.0: Seventh version
-I'm sure I have all the ships in now, the base info will have to come
from submissions unless I start playing again.

Eagle/Sabre/Titan Ultimate Config:
Weapon Slots: Class 9: Sunstalker missile launcher x2 (You can find this on
Planet Crete and another class 9 missile on Planet Malta
Omicron Alpha)
Class 10: Codename: THOR x2 (Or the ONYX, found near the IRON
HAMMER)
Codename: IRON HAMMER x2 (Found at Sigma 13, grid 3C)
I was emailed a suggestion by Gabino Lopez Sanchez who
Suggests using four Nomad energy cannons.
I'd say this is good, as they fire very quickly, but I
like power. Besides, who doesn't mind one hit kills?
Turret slot: Class 10: Any turret that goes at 600m/s is prefered, a Magma
Hammer turret is good, otherwise use the Salamanca
turret. (Salamanca is found at Leon Base, Omega 41)
Torpedo: Sunslayer. (Found at Bruchsal Base, Frankfurt, Rheinland)
Mine: "Ripper" seeking mine. (Found at Omicron Alpha, grid F4)
(Thanks to Jonas Wennerstram for telling me about the level 9 missile)
