Add Eclipse to the list of server's breaking the 1200 mark with post CU components.
Just managed 1201 this morning for the first time, came close last week with 1199 and wanted to see if it was poss.
Congratulations! Its a small difference in terms of usefulness, but a neat milestone for certain.
post CU component stims are aroun 1180 with 19 uses they sell for 5k each.
I sell 1250+,32+ charge stims for around 13k apiece (400 cr per charge).
Not quite apples to apples, but I recently bought some janta blood off a vendor and made 11 individual1321/19 stim Ds. I put them on my vendor at 2x the cost of the janta blood (150k) and they sold out in a few days. A friend of mine turned them down because he uses stims too frequently for a 19 use stim to be of much value. He would prefer something more like another long time doc crafter made recently (1250/35) - those are selling for millions for a full run on the trade forum...
Anything over 1200 will command a premium that is simply mind-boggling to be. Supply and Demand, I guess.

once there is a spawn of herb meat on Naritus over 970 oq and 500 pe then I will easily pass 1200 on pure resources, I keep hitting 1199 and its killling me lol . I will break 1200 before the month is out!
Yeah...considering the stats on your Enhancers its got to be annoying to be 1pt short. I'm down to about 75k of the berries I use to break 1200. Once they're gone, I'm going to be scrambling to hit 1200. I believe I was getting 1199 power with some other berries with 65 power (2 charge) ACRDMs. There was a recent high quality spawn of herb meat and I picked up about 300k of it. 990+ OQ, 580-ish PE which is letting me get 66/2 (our best Class 4 LPF isn't terribly impressive). So maybe I'll be able to break 1200 with those too. If not I have some old 67 power (0 charge) ACRDMs that I could use, but that would drop the charges down to 18 (maybe 17) and I don't have all that many of those.
I hope that if/when I can no longer make 1200 stims my customers won't expect me to drop my prices. I'm selling the 1204/20s at 5k each and I've always known I could have charged more (and still sold them) and I'd like to keep them at 5k. That allows me to purchase all of my resources (at 4-10cpu for the mined stuff and up to 25cpu for the creature harvested stuff...I don't have any Scouting skills on my combat toon, so I rely on hunters to get it for me) instead of frantically trying to harvest everything myself, and still make a reasonable profit.
