| 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]]. 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:
| |
|
| |
|
| * 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. | | * The fastest way to acquire Tracking Computer I is to buy it from the [[trading|market]]. You can either buy it in the current station or buy it somewhere else and fly to the station where you bought it to pick it up. 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. |
| * 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".
| |
|

| | * Alternatively, the module can also be manufactured by purchasing its Blueprint Original (BPO) and supplying the required minerals. Without sufficient training of relevant skills and a reliable source of cheap raw materials, however, you will often find that producing an item could be much more expensive than buying it on the market. |
