'''{{co|#9ef37c|Granted when accepted:}}''' A [[Skills:Production#Mass_Production|Mass Production]] skillbook.

You are given 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, but training the skill is vital if you want to go deeper into manufacturing.

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.

You can 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 buy it somewhere else and fly to the station where you bought it to pick it up if the difference in price is large enough to warrant a trip. Note that items are usually cheaper at [[Trade hubs|trade hubs]], although for an inexpensive item such as Tracking Computer I, the extra journey may not be worth the time spent.

An alternative option is to use this mission to learn about basic manufacturing, although it might be much less time- and price-efficient compared to simply buying the module outright. Without sufficient training of relevant skills and a reliable source of cheap raw materials, you will often find that producing an item is much more expensive than buying it on the market. Should you still wish to manufacture the required module yourself, the process for doing so is as follows:

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 I (Tritanium and Megacyte minerals).
