Kudos to you good sir!

BlOomberg Markets OXP tries to create special commodities offers at random places in the current Galaxy Chart you're in, often as the result of some local disaster. Unless the system is quite close, it's generally not profitable to go there just for that alone.
Many OXP stations already have their own special commodities.plist file with vastly different prices than the main station, so having even a handful of them installed is almost a license to print money -- especially if these stations are close to the main station (Superhub, Sothis, Nuit, Hoopy Casinos) or along the trade route (Your Ad Here Constores, Black Monks Monastery, Random Hits Space Bars).
Even if an OXP station is using the same commodities.plist as another station (OXP or main station) in the same system...the prices/amounts can be vastly different between the 2, with basically each using different seed values for the random amounts.
