Has anyone done a tutorial in relation to conflict zones?

I've been playing since early January and I still haven't a clue as to how they actually work. There was a recent war in one of my local systems where I am allied and I managed to just avoid it all.

We have low intensity and high intensity zones ???
Check points?
What happens when you go there?
Which side are you on?
What happens to your wanted status etc
What happens to your rep with each faction and it that faction has an allegiance to the feds etc does it mess that up too.
etc etc

good point... at least, i'm having the same questions :)

Check points... I went in, there's nothing to do inside...
Low high iZones: well, I did some, just choose a side or open fire to chose it ... rewards? Conflicts zone are out of interrest, money-side I mean.
that's all I know....

We have low intensity and high intensity zones ??? - Correct.
Check points? - Near (dead) planets.

What happens when you go there? - You join to great battle between two war sides.

Which side are you on? - Federation (because, im allied with him)

What happens to your wanted status etc - Turn away, go to near station, pay bounty and go back. Continue battle.

What happens to your rep with each faction and it that faction has an allegiance to the feds etc does it mess that up too. - I notice, no reputation here. A play 3 time war zone, once i chose wrong side, against Federation, nothing happen.

High and Low intensity conflict zone is self explainable....
You hop in the zone, select side (right screen - full right menu) and kill the ships of the other side! Which side? Read the political status of the fighting sides on your status menu and decide whose interests suit yours....
After killing some ships, land on the nearest station, go to contacts and claim the bounties from the fraction you fought for. Obviously the fraction you fought for loves you and the other hates you....
In some cases in the bulletin board there are contracts from either fractions asking you to kill some ships in the zone for them. They yet dont tell you on which side. You can kill ships on either to fulfill the contract.

I recently fought in a civil war in my "home" system. I destroyed over 200 "Enemy" ships. Suffered half a million in damage to my Python. I gained about 200,000 cr in combat bounties.

At the end, the war simply stopped without warning or any explanation who was the winner.

The funny thing was, the faction I was fighting for has now rewarded me with an "unfriendly" status.

None of it made any sense. The factions that were at war, had no control over any system stations. They started the war on 0% and 1% influence. They ended the war exactly the same.

My conclusion, was the civil war mini game is just pew, pew, or Space Invaders, or Pac man! No point in looking for any meaning, because there isn't any.

Did you take the warzone missions? Those might be the reason you got unfriendly for the side you fought for. Many of the quests seem to be from someone who prefers both sides to lose ships. Not that I've bothered reading the flavor text too carefully either.

Seemed to be that way to me too, just a way to concentrate a bunch of fighting into a short space/time.
