Im only a 10 pointer, with 106 experiment and 106 assembly. Now, double amazings arent things you come across every day, especially for somebody like myself. When making a schematic for my first ever run of brandy I got this double amazing, without using bespin or being in a research city. To my delight, it came out as:
21 quantity
46 minute duration
+388 power
49 fill
So off I go to put it in my factory. I say to myself 'If the serial numbers are different for any reason ill cry'. Low and behold, somehow a rogue BE additive crate, of its own serial number was used rather than my 40+ mediums stored away. I did manage to find 1 crate left of this other rogue serial number. OK i thought, i can still get about 160k for that. So I carry on, and try to have another wack at at least 1 amazing on flavour. A few tries later, i get it. What happens - my client crashes...annoyed again, but not yet giving up, i reset my computer and try again.
At this point I decide to write this post, which is bad enough already, it may have stopped here. But oooooh no. Turns out my datapad was full when I had that double amazing. No schematic. 1 crate of rogue be additive. 160k down the drain. So now im just settling with
21 quantity
43 minute duration
+400 power
49 fill
Now to me 12 power instead of a whole 3 minutes extra just isnt cricket. Somebody must die.
Discuss.

very nice brandy for a 10-pt chef 
It can be really hard to get those amazings, sometimesI will even use up crates of components just gunning for two amazing successes to get +407/49min brandy hehe
Even through all that, once you get it, doesn't it give you a really good feeling of accomplishment?

A few things:
1. If your datapad is full, don't hit return. hit CTRL D and bring it up and delete one.
2. If you are only selling your stuff for 160K a crate, I have found you can sell almost ANY quality on the bazaar for 6K each (150K per crate) sure it takes longer but still.
I am a 12 point chef so mine is a little higher and I charge 275K.

Hell,Naritus must be the cheapest server. I sell +407/51m/50fill/18uses - for 75k(note: I prefer longer duration buff then the extra 20pts buff). I'm in the middle range of pricing. Saitek sells her's for 50k a crate, I think.
To the orig poster: I would spend the exp on buff rather than uses, but thats just my opinion.

bushmaster = Wow!
Wow...just my medium BE additives cost 50k a crate.
Why would you ever go over 45 minutes (since that's how long it takes for fill to go down to 0 with a double shot)
How the heck do you're BEs survive, what's the price of meat on your server?

your target goals should be this:
+400 or more (+400 looks a lot better on the vendor than +399.... and sells more)
43:30 or more (that's the time it take to fully empty the stomach. so you can drink 2 again when the first 2 runs out)
50% fill (some say 49, due to bugged drinkbars, but personally have never had a problem selling 50% brandy)
18/21 uses (whatever points you got left... people rarely look at the uses, but of course 21 is better, but not that important)
Personally i make +407, 49:30, 50%, 18 uses with 12 pts... and +85 tissues.
This stuff sells at 250k a crate at Chimaera.
Gonna have a go with 87's in a few days, and hope for +400, 51:00... it's gonna be 399 or 400... *crosses fingers*..
