Is there somewhere with clear instructions on how to do this, Or what other info can be pulled straight from the game?

You have to enter everything else manually, as FD are unlikely to allow the level of access required for full downloads.

Would you like to see a re engineered Type 7 with a fighter bay inside ?
Just for that extra deterrent against pirates and thieves.

Any halfway competent pirate would shred your powerplant before you're even able to get your fighter out.

Squeeeeee! *Hugs teddy bear tightly*
I just love the t7. My preferred cargo ship to knock ov.... I mean help liberate captive cargo from. And yours has a fighter! Hey, maybe your fighter pilot and mine can go out on a play date while we conduct our business?

@Jake De Carteret... I am sure that the build you propose is quite interesting, but the general opinion is that a Cargo Transport ship is just that... a cargo ship and not fit for sustained combat. If you are interdicted by a pirate or worse yet a PvP ganker your first priority should be high waking out. Sticking around and fighting with a ship launched fighter will likely get you ganked.
MassiveD posted a pretty great video about how to engineer a nice type-7 which has some nice surprises for gankers and his strategy for a hasty exit will troll the many trolls in the black. While his tactics don't scream bravado they almost certainly spell safety and a decent laugh at the expense of the pirate.
I respect the Type-7, it helped fund my fleet.

But we all know that multi-purpose ships like the anaconda and the python are superior in every aspect. (except price)

As someone who frequently trades, I'm putting my money on the panther!

But in the end, the python's ability to land on medium pads, and both the ship's improved jumprange and vastly superior manouvrability allows you to complete more runs / hour, wich in the act severely outweighs the type-7 and -9's extra few tonnes of cargo.
And then additionally, trading in a ship soo lumberingly slow and ill-manouvrable as the type-9 (yes, I've flown in it person) makes the act simply unbearable...
