Difficulty on multiplayer servers

[Hydra]

Hi, I have a question about the difficulty settings on servers as described on gamepedia. https://avorion.gamepedia.com/Difficulty

I wanted to have expert difficulty für 100% damage scaling.

Inside my galaxy folder the server.ini looks like this:

[Game]
Seed=WDZsjLlt
Difficulty=1
HardcoreEnabled=false
InfiniteResources=false
CollisionDamage=1
SafePlayerInput=false
PlayerToPlayerDamage=true
LogoutInvincibility=true
LogoutInvincibilityDelay=30
DevMode=false
... and so on

Difficulty only occures one time.

The point is that currently I am able to buy reconstruction tokens and new ships start with 4 crew members.

Difficulty codes:

Beginner: -3
Easy = -2
Normal = -1
Veteran = 0
Expert = 1
Hardcore = 2
Insane = 3

So is this normal for expert difficulty or is there something wrong with the settings?
Is there a way to check ingame the current difficulty level.

Greetings!

i think unless youre on hardcore you can always buy tokens, you just dont get them free.

but at expert you shouldnt get any free personnel according to

Ahh okay. No tokens cost credits.

Thank you.
