"Mission Notes" -> -> Captain's Log?
I love the Mission Notes feature, it adds a lot of depth to be able to jot things down on the fly without quitting the client.
Perhaps this is already where the devs are going with it, but it seems to me like the Mission Notes would be a good place to throw in a little flavor to try and draw the player into the VO world. Something like turning it into a logbook with an autodate feature? In this way a player could build a history with his/her character for RP purposes, or merely keep track of exploits from a temporal perspective.
Spatially referenced sector notes tied to the navmap would also be very useful. I could see the Mission Notes potentially divided into two sections: logbook and sector notes. Or simply have sector notes as a subpanel of the nav map...

Yeah, log dates in the GAME YEAR - 4434. That would be neat.
mm.. maybe have a memo system sorta like PalmOS does it -- slice the pane into two halves, stacked vertically; on the top, put a text entry box with a spot for a note title; and on the bottom put a list of saved notes... selecting a note from the list brings it up for editing above
..did I describe that well enough?

my Captain's log says "XcelEnergy" on the front...
that would be cool.

thurisaz, that's exactly the type of thing I had in mind.
