Sorry -- I beg to differ. High OQ lubricating oil is used almost exclusively for the chemical component in making harvesters, as any chemical that has an SR or UT stat will likely pull the BER rate of the harvester below optimum. That said, even 5-6cpu if you sell off whatever it is you don't need is still a very healthy profit on a resource that costs about three-tenths of a credit per unit to harvest. If an architect will pay 10cpu for it, I'd say that would be quite a profitable day's work harvesting and selling just the resource alone.

DE's use a lot less lubricating oil than Architects, but they might buy some. I know very little about crafting professions like weaponsmith and armorsmith, but I've been a Master Architect for 5 months and a Master DE for two months, so those are professions I know quite a bit about.

I think the overall summary is yes, go for it

There's a current spawn of Insect Meat (the other ingredient in Vercupti) on Yavin that's good for making 50% filling too, so now is a good time, I would think. BTW, I'm paying well for the Yavin Insect meat - check out the Bria trade forum for details
