Everyone have their highways chackpointed? Good.
Anyone have an overdue loan? Bad news!
If one of your checkpointed sectors is confiscated, the checkpoint will
remain in effect (unlike attack which clears it). This has two results:
1: You can reclaim the sector by moving everyone back out of it (since you
know the checkpoint) and then back in. Since it was left empty when you
pulled everyone out, you now own it again.
2: The new owner of the sector can determine your checkpoint code with
commands like 'census x,y ?che>500' 'census x,y ?che>250' and so on..
(conducting a binary search.. only takes 10 tries at most)
Moral: Always use as many different checkpoint codes as you can.
