So, John Syndicate assaults someone, thats up to 10 time, goes on their record.
Now we have 2 scenarios:
A) They attack someone and get charged with assault, they are permable by 20 minutes time thanks to repeated offence doubling it.
B) They attack someone and get charged with murder/attempted murder, they are not permable as their crime is 15 minutes tops from this lone crime alone.
Were similiar scenarios somehow overlooked or its actually intended for lesser crimes to be punishable more than extreme ones?
If instead whole bracket was to be multiplied by “repeated” time you could have someone causing endangerment then out of sudden their first murder is 30 minutes which obviously makes it weird.
If its indeed not intented, +5 minutes per repetition of crime rather than multiplying it would be better solution for the mid tier crimes.
There’s a section carved out in space law so that you cant stack the same crime multiple times, but if the crime is repeated after a prior arrest they get 3 minutes added to their jail time each time.
“Repeater Offenders: Repeated crimes are when someone is released for a crime and then goes to commit the same crime within the same shift. Repeated crimes can be charged with tacked-on time; first repeat: 3:00, second repeat: 6:00, third repeat: permanent confinement. It should be noted each tacked-on time is directly linked to one type of crime, so for example, if someone does their first repeat of trespass and petty theft, you can charge them with an extra 6 minutes.”
You also cant stack assault and assault together, nor can you stack attempted or successful murder with assault as they are the same crime category.
I am not talking about 2 assaults in one go as its still only one charge.
I mean:
Getting sentenced
Getting Free
Getting sentenced again, here you can get up to double time for repeated crime you did last time, which is 20 for T3, which makes it weirdly longer for assault at 20 minutes than 15 for murder/attempted murder.
nor can you stack attempted or successful murder with assault as they are the same crime category.
Well, somone could try to pass punching someone to death as manslaughter or murder, ironically manslaughter would let you avoid half jail time as its different to repeated assault.

Im bit fuzzy on whether its somewhat older part before law tables where timing was all over the place instead of simple 5/5/10/15/20, but are you saying I had it wrong all this time and what I would want is already a thing except its +3/+6/Perma? Not that I used high/max time for repeat offenders anyways even with 200%/300%/400%… time for repetitions, opting for 50% of it +/- state of station, attitude and compliance level. Good to know if thats indeed the case and ill take it as answer.
Yeah, repeating the same crime is supposed to be the +3 +6 Perma, not doubling the time of the original crime (assuming you mean you’re not adding them together from past time).
If someone commits a tresspass to the point of getting arrested, it’s 5 minutes, release.
