I heard FTC has checkpoints and i'm not sure what that does. All i know is it runs on scrypt and has 4x more coins than LTC.

All coins have the potential for checkpoints, it's been in the bitcoin source for ages.  So yes, it's essentially a LTC clone with 4 times as many coins.

It has a higher chance now to prevail in case of a 51% attack due to these checkpoints

A lot of altcoins are just clones, but people are buying it to make some profits.
Only BTC is a safe coin I think.

What do you mean with "safe"? as in safe investment?
