Checkpoints?

[Greyhawk]

Just saw a checkpoint in a system. Was a ton of federal navy vessels in there spouting some rhetoric about freedom or something. Not something I've seen before...are these common?

I believe they appear in systems in the Lockdown state.

They appear in systems with wars or lockdowns.

They don't really do anything unless you have a mission to kill security then its an easy place to do it.

Doesn't killing the Naval vessels there cause "damage" to the owning factions influence and increase lockdown et cetera?

Yes, so if you are part of the opposition then you can kill them.

I do notice the checkpoint seem to be set up by the System Controlling faction, which may not be actually in the war.

Didn't want to start a new post about checkpoints. If checkpoints are what they say above, shouldn't you warp into the system at them instead of the sun? Just a thought.

Your drive locks onto the biggest mass, so a few ships would be far too small.

but I agree, ive dropped in on these and thought whats the point... perhaps the checkpoint should be zonal whereby the security team pull everything out of SC.
