How do you make ships or systems?

[Dab]

As Nighthawk said, most system modding is started with FLE and then the rest is done via .ini files. All you really want to do with FLE is build the bases, nebulas, asteroid fields, trade lanes, and planets, and then position them where you want and connect optional objects to them (in the case of bases). Everything else, including the commodity, equipment, ship, and base NPC setup for bases, should be done via .ini file editing, to reduce the amount of bugs and errors. Freelancer Explorer is not a perfect program, so it's best to do as much in .ini file editing as possible.
