Talk a look through Lancers reactors download area too and grab the cmp exporter for milkshape. Make your mods in milkshape, save them in milkshapes forum and when the ships ready, export them as freelancer cmp files and place them somewhere in the data/ships/xxxx folder.

Then go to the tutorial forum and look for a good ship tutorial that covers adding the ships to the game. Everything you need is there but to help you heres a list of topics you will need to look for.

Ships.
Hardpoints.
Infocards (making dlls).
Market_ships

The forums search function will help you here.
