IMPORTANT: READ HERE

This page is deprecated because I am too lazy to maintain it. Please use my repo instead https://github.com/Moomoobeef/ss14-forms-txt as it is way more up to date. For posterity and also because there is still useful info on this page, I will leave the original page up, unchanged.

The original page follows below this header

I have created many documents and templates in my time playing this game, and in this page I have compiled them together so that you can too. Before we get to the templates themselves, here are some tips:

Information

PLEASE READ ME: I am lazy sometimes. This means it sometimes takes awhile before I update this wiki page (because it's a pain in the ass) so you can sometimes find more up-to-date forms on the repo here. This is especially true as of 6/6/24, I just released a bunch of new forms and it is 1:53am as I am writing this so I am not updating this wiki with all those new forms. Just go look there instead. And being that I am busy, ADHD as hell, and lazy, who knows when I'll get around to it.

General Advise

• Be Concise: People don't always want to read huge paragraphs of text especially in-game.
• Be Consistent: It's helpful to have a consistent style, it can make your documents look more professional.
• Don't Create Hard Questions: If you are creating a form for roleplay, only request information that matters if at all possible. Asking for things like the date, or an employee ID # can cause holdups and disagreements.
• Be reasonable: Nice looking forms/documents are really cool, but you can't hold cool paper over roleplay, so please don't cause unnecessary barriers just for the sake of bureaucracy. It's not always cute.
• Take Feedback/Criticism: The best way you can improve what you make is to make use of the thinking of others. This applies everywhere, not just in document prep, but still some people need to be reminded of it.

Specific Tips for In-Game Formatting

• Refer to the "writing" section of the guidebook for the formatting tags.
• Headers may encroach upon lines above them, it is good to keep this in mind.
• Any time brackets appear like this "[ ]" the game will treat it as a formatting command even if it is empty. All brackets can be escaped using "\", for instance allowing you to write "\[bold]" on the page.
• Stamping a page will make it un-editable except for with a cybersun pen.
• Certain non-ASCII characters can be used on paper. Characters from the Windows Glyph List 4 have been tested to be working, with other unicode characters your mileage may vary as these have occasionally been known to break formatting and even line breaks. That said, these all work: © ® § ™ № Ω ← ↑ → ↓ ↔ ↕ ≠ ♪ ♫ ☻ ☺
• If you are trying to make a document/form that is similar to something that exists in real life, try looking up some reference for you to blatantly stea-- I mean, loosely copy off of!
• On long documents, when the scrollbar appears you loose a line of width from it. This can cause things to shift down the page or for horizontal lines to become broken. If your page contains elements that go from one side to the other such as a horizontal line, you should make sure they are short enough that the scrollbar does not break them!

MY MOST IMPORTANT TIP

None of the "tips" on this page are rules. They are intended to help you end up at a result that you and others will appreciate. If they are getting in the way of this, do not hesitate to forget em!

Department Colors

The following colors are grabbed from the job icons, and therefore are the colors that appear on the manifest. (except for CentCom as CC officials simply get the NanoTrasen job icon and there is no CentCom one. For the CentCom color I simply grabbed the color of their uniform.)

• cb0000 Security
• c96dbf Science
• 5b97bc Medical
• b18644 Cargo
• f39f27 Engineering
• ff2fff Clown (how special)
• 9fed58 Food Service (bartender/chef/botany/service worker)
• 6e6e6e Passenger
• 1b67a5 Command
• 009100 CentCom
• 134975 NanoTrasen
• ff0000 Syndicate

If you are a department head, or writing something to represent your department, it would be a good idea to use your respective color! (unless it's really gaudy or something)

Now Onto Documents

This list may grow over time as I add more to it. If you have any suggestions/requests/ideas/comments/etc, I can be reached on discord by the username "moomoobeef"

Also of note, due to there being no existence of code blocks (that I can tell) I have elected to share the texts via .txt files which you can download and paste, they are hosted on a repo I made here.

General Headers/Footers

Description	Example Image	TXT file
A rather generic header that can be used with your department color to give some flare to any old letter. Comes with an NT logo.		Here.
A Public Service Announcement from someone, useful for disseminating important information via fax. Comes with an NT logo.		Here.
A memo from someone, again useful for info dissemination. Maybe more targetted, such as a memo to certain departments. Comes with an NT logo.		Here.
A very fancy schmancy document header, for fancy schmancy people. Thanks to VasalisThePikachu for contributing this one.		Here.
A very suspicious header, for suspicious people. May be associated with some sort of "Syndicate" or something.		Here.

Legal Forms

These have been checked against the Standard Operating Procedure where applicable, and should be perfectly valid for MRP usage.

Description	Example Image	TXT file
Gear Permit, used for permitting someone to access restricted gear.		Here.
Same as the Gear Permit but for controlled/illegal substances. Handy if you want permission to make space drugs or meth or some shit.		Here.
Search warrant for individual personnel, used if you want to search someone during green alert.		Here.
Search warrant for entire departments.		Here.

Detective Forms

Description	Example Image	TXT file
Forensic Death Report. For taking notes on or informing others about a death. Has fields for just about every detail you'd likely want to report.		Here.
Forensic Crime Report. Just about the same as the Death Report but for a crime scene, otherwise self-explanatory.		Here.

Fun Stuff

These are either jokes or intended for roleplay. Do with them as you will.

Description	Example Image	TXT file
A resume. I didn't bother to turn it into a "template" so it's just the resume I made for my character verbatim, but arguably that makes it easier to use as you can just take what I've written and tweak it to be relevant to your character.		Here.
Certificate of Exceptional Adequacy. A funny way to both congratulate crew and remind them how much working for NT truly sucks.		Here.
A form for requesting All Access. Intentionally unsolvable as you should not be giving out AA.		Here.
"I will literally explode if I have to deal with any more paperwork!!"		Here.
A form for those who for whatever reason wish not to be borged. Very similar to a real life "Do Not Resuscitate" order.		Here.
A survey form I was using in character for awhile. Still haven't gathered a meaningful amount of data, and it's such a pain that I might not bother. But I'm putting it here incase someone else wants to do something with it, and hell, if you want you can fill it out yourself or be a facilitator in character and send me the results on discord.		Here.
		Here.

Practical Forms

These have a practical purpose unrelated to space law or SOP.

Description	Example Image	TXT file
Cargo Request Form, used for requesting from cargo.		Here.
A form for applying for a job at the HoP desk. I honestly think there's such a thing as too much bureaucracy, and this is it. Getting a job should be a 30 second interaction so you can get on with playing the game and not humoring the HoP. However people wanted me to make one so I made one.		Here.
A restraining order issued by the court, for ordering someone to stay away from someone else until their trial.		Here.
A complaint form, for when someone is being problematic in some way and you want to whine in the most official capacity.		Here.
A building permit, for permitting building. Thanks to VasalisThePikachu for contributing this one.		Here.
