This page currently covers 2 different .oxps: Sothis.oxp & SothisTC.oxp.
Contents
Overview
Long ago a business magnate Donald Troomp placed Sothis stations in high tech corporate systems to act as trade centers. To the big public Troomp is better remembered by his intergalactic competition, which he called "The Apprentice." The idea was to find the most suitable person to run one of his companies. Mr Troomp is long gone, but his Sothis Trade Centers are live and kicking.
Features
SothisTC.oxp (by Spara) modifies the Sothis.oxp (by KillerWolf): All Sothis stations are now converted into trading stations and relocated to high TL corporate systems.
If you have New Cargoes OXP by Cim installed, you can read TradeNet for free when visiting a Sothis station. You will also find that there are more special cargo opportunities than there are in the main station.
The 2013 version of SothisTC does not allow game saving, nor does it appear in the Market Inquirer database unless one is docked there. The 2021 tweaking thread addresses these issues.
Sothis.oxp by itself provides a secondary station at most systems, usually on the witchpoint side of the main planet. Changes in game coding mean since 2010 mean that KillerWolf's original version no longer has a market.
Sothis was the name of an ancient Egyptian goddess (KillerWolf's Nuit station is also named after an Egyptian sky goddess). Sopdet, known to the Greeks as Sothis, was an important goddess of the annual flood and a psychopomp guiding deceased pharaohs through the Egyptian underworld. She was also identified with the star Sirius, which was important in recording the flooding of the Nile. She ended up becoming an aspect of Isis.
