'''{{co|#9ef37c|Objective:}}''' ~~Acquire~~ a Frigate.

'''{{co|#9ef37c|Objective:}}''' Manufacture (or otherwise acquire) a Frigate.

~~Your agent gives you a BPC for a Frigate~~ (~~probably the same one you received in the~~ [[~~Exploration career agent#An Introduction to Cosmic Signatures (2 of 5)|second exploration career mission~~]]~~) and asks you to manufacture it. You're probably very familiar with the process by now (from, amongst other things,~~ [[~~#Making Mountains of Molehills (6 of 10)|mission 6~~]]~~), but manufacturing a proper combat Frigate will take a few more kinds of minerals, which you can either~~ [[~~reprocessing|reprocess~~]] ~~from ore or~~ [[~~trading|buy from other players~~]]~~. Since you'll be needing non-trivial amounts (from a new player perspective~~) of minerals, it probably makes sense to check the prices (if you are buying some/all the materials) in nearby stations to avoid paying far above their market value. It will probably take a bit of flying around to bring all the minerals to your agent's station.

'''{{co|#9ef37c|Granted when accepted:}}''' Faction-specific frigate ({{icon|isis amarr|22}}[[Tormentor]] /{{icon|isis caldari|22}}[[Bantam]] /{{icon|isis gallente|22}}[[Navitas]] /{{icon|isis minmatar|22}}[[Burst]]) BPC.

~~Of course~~, you can go the "~~easy~~" ~~route and~~ buy a finished ~~Frigate~~ off the market - or even turn in the ~~Frigate~~ you ~~received from~~ the second ~~exploration career~~ mission. To do the latter, ~~unfit all the modules (you can do this quickly by right-clicking on the ship in the Ship Hangar and selecting "Strip Fitting"), then~~ [[repackage]] the ~~Frigate~~.

Your agent gives you a BPC for a Frigate and asks you to manufacture it. You're probably very familiar with the process by now (from, amongst other things, [[#Making Mountains of Molehills (6 of 10)|mission 6]]), but manufacturing a proper frigate will take a few more kinds of minerals, which you can either [[reprocessing|reprocess]] from ore or [[trading|buy from other players]]. Since some of the minerals can only be reprocessed from ores found in low- or null-sec spaces, mining them yourself is quite risky if you're a new player. Should you wish to buy the required minerals, you'll be needing non-trivial amounts (from a new player perspective), so it probably makes sense to check the prices in nearby stations to avoid paying far above their market value. It will probably take a bit of flying around to bring all the minerals to your agent's station.

The table below lists the required amount of minerals if you wanted to manufacture the frigate yourself (note that each BPC could have different material requirements depending on the material efficiency - the table uses 2% material efficiency as given from the agent):

An easier way to complete the mission is to buy a finished frigate off the market, or even better, to simply turn in the same frigate granted to you when you accept [[Exploration career agent#An Introduction to Cosmic Signatures (2 of 5)|the second Exploration Career mission]]. To do the latter, [[repackage]] the frigate if it was assembled before handing it in.

This mission nicely illustrates that, in EVE manufacturing, time can be exchanged for money and vice-versa. Keep this in mind should you go deeper into manufacturing - you can try to acquire all the necessary materials yourself, or you can pay someone else to do it for you (by buying their ore, minerals, or modules/ships via the market - remember, in EVE, almost everything has been manufactured by players), and it's up to you to find the right balance and make the most of both your time and (in-game) money.
