Everthing you Ever wanted to know about Ships.
.mat = material library (the texture)
.cmp = weapons hardpoints (where the guns are)
.3db = ships model (it's a 3d studio max format btw)
.sur = collision information ( the box around the ship that allows you to get hit)
LODranges = ships sensor ranges (near as I can tell anyways. could be wrong)
Cockpits = all stored in .ini files under cockpits of you Freelancer game.(you can change the cockpit styles and it doesn't effect the ship model. You can adjust the turrent camera here and also create a cockpit moveable camera here.
ship_class = The type of ship it is. (0=light fighter 1=elite fighter 2=freighter 3=very heavy fighter)
nick_names = tags for programers (ship_class and nick_names line up)
There are 3 material maps on every ship. not just one. there is the ships material, the fx material and the env_material map(makes that cool shine on your ship)
linear_drag = how long it takes to stop
max_bank_angle = how hard it can turn (you freighter turns to slow, you fix that here)
nanobot_limit = how many you can max hold
shield_battery_limit = how many you can max hold
You trailing defaulted camera is different for each ship
camera_offset = 7, 33 (how far back and up it sits)
camera_angular_acceleration = 0.050000 (how fast the camera will move to the ship)
camera_horizontal_turn_angle = 17 (maximum distance it will float to the left/right)
camera_vertical_turn_up_angle = 5 (maximum distance it will float up)
camera_vertical_turn_down_angle = 25 (maximum distance it will float up)
------------------the up and down are seperate because of the offset above--------
camera_turn_look_ahead_slerp_amount = 1.000000 (how sticky the camera is to the ship)
hit_pts = ships hit points
not gonna get into all the hardpoint data as we are not far enough to bring in converted models just yet, but it's all under hp_type. (weapons and shields)
[CollisionGroup <-----------stay out of that for now--------------(it's a duh anyways)
Hope this helps some folks that understand it.

) seem to include inside themselves other file types.. For example, *.utf files seem to have *.wav files, which i've ripped successfully, they don't seem to be encrypted in any case. I'm currently examining these utf files in great detail
