Writing Tools

Pen

Pens are widely available around the station. Paper bins often have pens on them, every crew member starts with a pen in their PDA. There are numerous types of pens you can get.

  • Pen - A standard black ink pen. You write in the Verdana font.
  • Blue Pen - It's just blue ink.
  • Red Pen - It's just red ink.
  • Four Colour - You can change between black, blue, red and green ink. Available in the loadout menu.
  • Fountain Pen - You write in the Segoe Script font.
  • Captain Pen - It's a fountain pen with an oak body. You write in crimson ink. The nib is sharp. So sharp it can... actually butcher corpses? You also write in Segoe Script.
  • Crayon - You always right in bold, you cannot use lists, the horzontal rule or small tags. You write in the comic Sans MS font. Colours depend on crayon type.

Forms

Here are previews of a bunch of forms. Copy and paste the paper markdown part onto paper in-game. Make sure people sign with %s. If the form says %f, it's so the person can type %s to actually sign it. If you put %s in the format, you sign it.

Feel free to copy and paste any of these forms and edit them to how you see fit. These forms are considered to be official and their templates issued by Nanotrasen.

Head of Personnel

Feel free to change these, remove and add what you like. It's your office. Try and keep paperwork, it makes for good roleplay. Stamp, sign or stamp and sign completed forms.

Leave forms at the start of the queue so people in line can start filling it in.
