Congrats! The first time you hit 50 fill it feels like your heart if going to jump out of your chest, no? lol. I had to do a fair bit of finagling to get mine down, but nothing will be like the first time!

Congrats mate. 
Great achievement for any chef, especially a 10 pointer.

My last 50% was +1100 HAM, but ok, i'm 12 pointer, and it was the best Insect Meat and best Lub Oil in Starsider history (I think at least ) and 118% HFA

Nooo! Did you buy your stuff from Erinys? She's also my second BE vendor and I was contemplating the night before whether I should buy the 118s or not. Came back the following day and they were gone. Hehe. I snoozed and I lost.
Anyway congrats.

I'll never tell!
Ok I will: yes, it was I who snagged the 118s from Erinys. 
She's not the cheapest BE around, and may not stock the most regularly, but when she does stock it's almost always primo stuff.

After getting the Utensils schematic tonight, I went browsing around the bazaar looking for a structural or generic tool to make it with. Well, I figured as long as I was browsing anyway, might as well look for some decent lube oil.
Found DR 999 OQ 746.
Uh-huh. Yep, buying all that up (only 7k, though). Then I checked around some resource vendors to see if anyone had it stocked (it went out of spawn about 3 weeks ago).
No more ofthat oil (although I did find some 940DR 852 OQ that was almost as good). But I did find some interesting tubers:
897 DR, 826 PE, 993 OQ. (flavor's crap: 165 
).
).I dug up my hoarded high DR insect meat, andrealized I had no heavy additives.I hit my regular BE vendor, nothing above 115 (well, she did have a 4 craterun of 116s). Went to my second supplier and found 27 crates of 118s. Buy all those up...
Started up the factories for the dough and additives, grabbed the first few that came out and headed to my crafting station.
Chef apron: check.
Bespin Port: check.
Assembled Vercupti. Saw those ten lovely bubbles in filling and started rubbing my hands together. Put 7 points into filling. Amazing success! One more point, and I hit 50 fill. Put the last two points into nutrition, and out popped the schematic for my first 50 fill vercupti.
Final stats: 50 fill, +970 HAM, 7m6s, 2 uses. Not too shabby for a 10 point chef, if I say so myself. 
Tomorrow morning I'll pop in real quick, move the finished subcomponents into an input hopper, and kick off the final run. The sad thing is I only have enough insect meat for 12 crates.
Ohoh! Just checked swgcraft, and there's some 906DR/874OQ meat on Rori. I'll have to go Mite hunting this weekend.

Hey!
Hey!
HEYHEY!
Erinye? You guys talking to my girl?...whazz up with dat? 
/chefduel!!
Sounds like about my recipie for 50 fill Kriles, that new 999 lube oil I got a bit of, for the couple days it was around, and it allows me to make a BUNCH of 50 fill vercup..I just realized that last week.
I had some interesting resutls playing with it though...if you get 7 amazing and a great....you get 51 filling and no more spots on the filling. I thought I was screwed again! ...but if you get a 7 point great and 2 more greats...you get 50 fill!!....and ...and if you get 7 amazing and 1 point Amazing after that...you get 50 Filliing!! WootA!!
I've got Kaz Tubers and some others comming out the yin-yang, as well as a bunch of the top end tubers..Kriles if you don't have any luck with that Rori Insect meat I would love to set you up with some of my stockpile of Yavin Insect meat from last year.
/guard Erinye
(Actually glad that she is getting sales, she makes AMAZING stuff for me, a super new pet, and some great BE food components that keep me cooking all the time!)
P.S. I was looking at those 118's a couple days ago myself...and almost grabbed them...

You have only yourself to blame. You were the one who pointed me at her when I was looking for a BE.
I usually hit the BE vendor in Foovile first, though. Although for the life of me I can't remember his name. Specializes in large runs, and while they're always pretty good (usually nothing below 54/84/114, 30+ crates per run, all serialed) I was looking for something a bit extra special for this run.
If you want to check my recipe, here's what I used:
Rohe Talus Insect Meat: 897 DR, 906 FL, 601 PE, 848 OQ
Kasmadeag Lokian Tubers: 897 DR, 165 FL, 826 PE, 993 OQ
Oiglaino Lube oil: 999 DR 746 OQ
That theoretically caps out at 91% filling, and I hit 88 or 89 with 7 amazing + 1 great.
Your experimentation capping is a little weird. Maybe there's some rounding on the percentages, and it "fills" the final bubble too early with 7 amazing + 1 great.
And with my shopping spree yesterday, I'm well stocked on Lube oil (picked up about 275k of Ridoxium Oil: 940 DR, 852 OQ for a steal from a "going out of business" sale), somewhat ok on tubers (around 90k of those Kas tubers). Now if I could only get some meat.
/chefduel!!
I accept! As weapons, I choose: Cream Pies at dawn!

/sneak toward Erinys while the two chefs duel
I was going after that Rori insect meat this morning, but I couldn't get any missions for 'em... so I went to endor and killed stuff for the carni meat instead. I think maybe I need a group for the insect meat. Oh! I found some insect missions when I unequipped my weapon, but they only yielded 6 units per harvest. =D Aren't there any bigger insects??

I remember seeing quite a few wild spaws of spinecaps and Mites around the Rebel outpost at the south of the map. Spiders are probably too low to pull missions for if you have any decent combat skills (and as you said, the harvest yield sucks).
If you didn't know, swgcreatures.com is a great place to check for creatures that drop a particular resource. Harvest amount seem to scale directly with difficulty, so sort CL descending, and the top of the list will be the ones with the big carcasses. They're also the one's most likely to gnaw on your carcass, too.

Ah. I was looking at swgcreatures just prior to hunting, just never thought to look at the CL. I'd love to make my first 50 fill vercupti, too. Or my first vercupti for that matter. Thanks for the tip.
Thanks for the tip.
