• AllowedRandomMissionTypes (one may disable missions based on personal preferences)
• KickAFKTime (time after which an incative player is kicked from the server)
• KillDisconnectedTime (time after which a disconnected player's character dies ingame, increase this value if the crew has troubble reconnecting fast enough)
