For guns, thrusters, and shields, the infocard will automatically adjust. For more advanced equipment, e.g. powerplants, scanners, tractors, you will need to adjust the infocards yourself.

For ships...You will need to edit the infocard. You will need Fled-IDS for this (you can use others, such as ReShacker, but this is the simplest) to edit the .dll. First, open shiparch, and find the ship you are editing. You will see that there are 5 .dll references. The ones you need to edit are ids_info = ###### and ids_info3 = ######. The first will load up in the .dll and look like this:

---

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?><RDL><PUSH/><TEXT> </TEXT><PARA/><TRA data="1" mask="1" def="-2"/><JUST loc="center"/><TEXT>Stats</TEXT><PARA/><TRA data="0" mask="1" def="-1"/><JUST loc="left"/><TEXT> </TEXT><PARA/><TEXT>Gun/Turret Mounts: 6/0</TEXT><PARA/><TEXT>Armor: 3950</TEXT><PARA/><TEXT>Cargo Space: 30</TEXT><PARA/><TEXT>Max Batteries/NanoBots: 30/30</TEXT><PARA/><TEXT>Optimal Weapon Class: 5</TEXT><PARA/><TEXT>Max. Weapon Class: 7</TEXT><PARA/><TEXT>Additional Equipment: CM, CD, M </TEXT><PARA/><PARA/><POP/></RDL>

---

The second (ids_info3) will look like that, except the words will not be there, only the numbers. So you'll need to use the first (ids_info) to see what the numbers mean, they are in the same order. Simply change the values to suit your new ship, and hit the save button. If you get an error that says the .dll cannot be saved, it means your .dll is read only. Simply go into your EXE folder (microsoft games/freelancer/exe) and find the .dll you are editing, right click, go to properties, and uncheck the Read-Only box.

Hope that helps
