Get one clear recommendation

Tell the app where you are and it answers the only question that matters mid-run: buy now, wait, make credits, or prepare for the next story mission.

Upload your Freelancer save The accurate route. Reads your level, credits, ship, and mounted gear. Decoded in your browser. The file never leaves this device.

No save? Set your level manually Less precise, but enough for a useful plan.

Level / Rank Shown on your player info screen in game. Credits Lets the app work out what you can actually afford. Campaign stage Which story mission you are on, if any. Current system Used to find the nearest place to buy. Goal What you want the next ship to be good at. Route style Story-safe avoids trips that can strand you mid-campaign.

No save loaded Upload a save above to detect your credits, location, ship, and mounted gear — or open "No save?" to set your level by hand.

Where is my save?

Windows save folder:

C:\Users\<you>\Documents\My Games\Freelancer\Accts\SinglePlayer

On most Windows installs, open Documents, then My Games, then Freelancer, then Accts, then SinglePlayer.

If you use OneDrive Documents backup, check the same folder under your OneDrive Documents path.

Use the newest Save*.fl if you made a manual save. Use AutoSave.fl only if that is the freshest point you trust.

Still unsure? Ask the AI advisor

Use chat when you are between missions, short on credits, or comparing two ship paths.

Plan

Where to go, what to buy, and how to pay for it

Follow it from top to bottom: route to the gear, earn credits if needed, then check the next upgrade window.

Mission Intel

What the story is really asking now

1. Route

Closest verified place to buy

2. Credits

Safe money routes

Legal only Risky

3. Loadout

Weapons and equipment for this bracket

4. Later

Your next upgrade windows

Ask AI

Use this when your run does not match the canned plan

The advisor uses your selected level, credits, campaign stage, system, save summary, ship database, vendor data, and trade-route data. Ask it messy questions like "I am level 6 in Bretonia with 80k credits. Should I buy now or wait?"

Save Tools

Safe Save Editor

This workflow is separate on purpose: use it only when you want an edited save file. Choose friendly item names; the editor writes the required save values behind the scenes, downloads a backup beside the modified copy, and verifies the edited save before download.

Credits Optional Credit Edit

Credits stay unchanged unless this edit is explicitly enabled. This prevents a ship or loadout change from accidentally increasing level through extra money.

Change credits in the edited save

New credits

Ship goal

Loadout Mounted Equipment Editor

Pick friendly mounted gun names from compatible dropdowns. Direct turret and shield edits remain inspect-only. A staged ship swap separately rebuilds the target ship's exact default shield and internal package; unknown equipment and cargo are left untouched.

Install the edited save

Download the backup first. Put the edited .fl file in:

C:\Users\<you>\Documents\My Games\Freelancer\Accts\SinglePlayer

Return to the load-game screen, load the edited copy, and restore the backup if anything looks wrong.
