How you acquire the Tracking Computer module is up to you. The fastest way is to buy it from another player through the [[trading|market]] (the module usually costs around 60-70k ISK), although make sure you either buy it in the current station (in the Market window, sort by the "Jumps" column, and see if there is a module being sold in your station at a reasonable price), or else buy it somewhere else (it may be cheaper?) and fly to the station where you bought it to pick it up.

How you acquire the Tracking Computer I module is up to you. The fastest way is to buy it from another player through the [[trading|market]] (the module usually costs around 60-70k ISK), although make sure you either buy it in the current station (in the Market window, sort by the "Jumps" column, and see if there is a module being sold in your station at a reasonable price), or else buy it somewhere else (it may be cheaper?) and fly to the station where you bought it to pick it up. Note that items are usually cheaper at trade hubs, although for an inexpensive item such as Tracking Computer I, the extra journey may not be worth it.

Alternatively, you can use this mission to learn about basic manufacturing. When you accepted the mission you received a {{sk|Mass Production}} skillbook, which, when trained, allows to manufacture multiple items at once. It's not necessary to train the skill to complete the mission (as you'll only be manufacturing one thing at a time), but training the skill is vital if you want to go deeper into manufacturing.

* First, you need to buy a [[blueprint]] for the Tracking Computer module. Blueprint Originals (BPOs) are sold on the market (by NPCs, so the prices are fixed - this particular blueprint costs around 100k ISK). It's likely that the closest seller is in another star system, so you will need to fly to their station in order to pick up the blueprint you bought.

* Once you have the blueprint, return it to your station (or, for that matter, to any nearby station with an Industry facility) and open the Industry window (right-click on the Blueprint, select "Use Blueprint"). This will tell you what materials you need to manufacture the Tracking Computer (Tritanium and Megacyte minerals).

* Once you have the blueprint, return it to your station (or, for that matter, to any nearby station with an Industry facility) and open the Industry window (right-click on the Blueprint, select "Use Blueprint"). This will tell you what materials you need to manufacture the Tracking Computer I (Tritanium and Megacyte minerals).

* You then need to acquire these minerals. Right-click on the minerals and open the "Show Info" window, which will tell you what ores can be reprocessed to obtain these minerals. Tritanium is extremely common, while Megacyte can only be obtained from rare [[nullsec]] ores. While you ''could'' fly to nullsec and mine the ores yourself, it's probably easier to buy the minerals directly from the market.

* Once you have the minerals, you can start the manufacturing job, which takes about half an hour for this particular module. Once it's done, open the Industry window (from the Station Services window), open the "Jobs" tab at the bottom, and click on "Deliver".
