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.

Security

Although no one will judge you for not doing paperwork as security, given all of the chaos (maybe) going on, actually bothering to file paperwork will probably get you known as one of the best roleplayers around. Getting suspects to sign forms and such will help keep them feeling involved. It's also a great way to let your suspect know that you aren't out for anything other than to create awesome roleplay.

Note: You should be using the security records console for adding complete crimes.

Public Crime Report

This is for non-security reporting a crime. Great for recordkeeping, you can reference this record (and the location of it, as it is not digitised) in criminal records. You can use this as a reason for setting people to arrest.

If you're feeling particularly evil, you can come down on your suspects very hard.

Weapon Permit

Give these to people who you authorise to carry weapons. You can consider the condition of them having a weapon is to have this paper on them at all times. If they don't have the paper, then it's unauthorised. That's all up to you, though. Regardless, this is helpful in stopping unnecessary hassle.
