## Alignment Mechanics
- Alignment values range from **‑99** to **‑1** for evil players.
- Evil alignment removes federation protection and grants unrestricted access to underground sectors.

## Rob and Steal Settings
Two server‑wide settings govern how much you can **rob** credits and **steal** holds from a port:
| Setting | Description | Default (MBBS) | Default (Classic) |
|--------------|------------------------------------------|----------------|-------------------|
| **RobFactor** | Percentage applied to the robbery formula | 50 % | 50 % (variable) |
| **StealFactor**| Percentage applied to the steal formula | 70 % | 30 % (variable) |
