This page currently covers 2 different .oxps: Sothis.oxp & SothisTC.oxp.

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.

Sothis.oxp

Sothis.oxp by itself provides a secondary station at most systems, usually on the witchpoint side of the main planet. There is the rather impressive station - and also a rather natty buoy.

Changes in game coding mean since 2014 mean that KillerWolf's original version no longer has a working F8 market in the newer versions of Oolite. A second version fixing this put out by Dizzy in 2017.

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.

Requirements

Oolite version 1.76.1.

Download


SothisTC.oxp

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.

There are also some rather natty screen-shots of the galactic trade routes which may or may not adorn your screens!

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.

KillerWolf's SoThis buoy is a thing of beauty

Credits

Tweaks

For Sothis.oxp alone

KillerWolf was chased away (why?) from the Oolite community in 2012 - the BB thread is thus a tad rusty!

  • Adding an extra station (Sothis.oxp) increases the market supply and capacity.
  • Adding SothisTC.oxp also gives an additional leg-up for NewCargoes advocates.
