Shinrarta Dezhra under LOCKDOWN: checkpoints everywhere

So I arrive back to Shinrarta Dezhra to pick up one of my ships at Jameson Memorial, to find the whole system under Lockdown according to system status. The Pilots Federation and Dark Wheel are both under Lockdown right now (TPF pending a Boom Critical state also), and there are checkpoints everywhere. Arriving at a checkpoint I see Elite system authority Cobras and Vipers spouting stuff such as "The obfuscation of enemy combatants is a criminal offence punishable by vaporisation" and "We're here to make sure the right side maintains dominance in this galaxy... now... and always."

The game describes operating in a state of Lockdown "to contain a situation that was rapidly spiralling out of control." I can't see much change in the commodities market there, though. The News mentions the Federation attacks on Banki, BD+03 2338 and, planned attacks on Nijotec and Polahukuna, all of which are roughly 95-120LY from this system. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.
 
i am definitely not logging in for a day,i'm docked there.
been reading posts about npc's being overpowered, gonna read forums for a day then log in.
 
This is abit if a dramatization, I was there two days ago, multiple checkpoints etc, just went in and out of Jameson's Memorial as normal, I don't see what use those checkpoints are, it's not like you have to stop at them, they're a waste of time
 
The every time I've checked The Dark Wheel had approx 0% influence.

Did something change?

Same here, been like that for a while now.

I noticed a few checkpoints when I dropped of my Type 6 earlier this afternoon, but I logged out once swapped to my Cobra. Could make for an interest trip out of the garage in the morning :p
 
Stop panicking. The only effect of lockdown i can notice are the checkpoints and "Seeking goods" (they want "narcotics"). Business as usual here.
 
they are still in there

Haven't seen for a while so can't really confirm. I have quoted the patch note and this was the last patch note regarding seeking luxuries there. And the order of the patch notes listed is the order of them being applied.

But well, that's how I was told. If it is different, then it might be the other way around.
 
There is definitely a "seeking goods" (not luxuries) at Shinrarta looking for narcotics. Nothing to worry about with lockdown, business as usual. Have noticed a lot of pirate traffic at Nav beacons in Shinrarta and surrounding systems tho', not sure if it's related. Made over a million in bounties from just dropping in between trade runs. Happy days :)

Sigh.... so much needs work in this game.
