Elevated Sentencing

The scope of the crime(s) committed, or repeated negative behavior, warrant the charge be elevated to a higher offence for punishment in increments of one level per instance.[1]

For the purposes of this Modifier, Corporate Crimes cannot escalate, but Security crimes are moderate crimes.

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.

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.

Roughly; use common sense.

Primarily intended to be used after a few repeats. This includes attacking security, heads of staff, or committing multiple instances of the same crime.

  1. Attacking two people in the same fight is one instance. Committing two separate crimes in different locations, at different times, is two instances. Crimes from the same instance cannot be stacked together.
