No save handy?

Level / Rank Credits Campaign stage Current system Goal Route style

Level bands

No save loaded Use manual level mode, or upload a save to detect credits, location, ship, and mounted gear.

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

This is the main progression workspace. 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. Turrets and shields are shown for inspection until their write rules are proven safe. Unknown equipment, cargo, and internals 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.
