For example: Two separate instances of minor crimes makes a moderate crime. Three separate instances is a major crime, four is capital and can result in permabrig.
Yes, this is intended.


Crimes do not stack across tiers'';'' only crimes of the same tier may escalate, and only one crime per incident may be applied: the highest. This means that one moderate crime and one major crime will always prefer the sentence of a major crime. Two moderate crimes are a major crime, and ''these'' can stack.

Crimes committed on a mass scale, no matter how minor, are not the same as a single crime of the same type, and should be elevated by one level for multiple affected areas, or two for a large portion of the station.  These should stack.
No, you must have been brought to the brig before to receive an elevated sentence.


Roughly; use common sense.

No, they cannot. Only the highest crime is used.
