Captain's Log - enhancement could make it even better...

Hi to everyone... I was testing the "Captains' Log", willing to write some supplemental log for my character to enhance my RPlay and I have to say that I had some ideas to make it more fun... Hope I'm posting in the right section.

Well... first of all, I like the chance to write my entries and to add supplemental logs to those the system creates, but we need at least three new features:
1 - the system should record the datas about the character and ship from when the entry was generated... I mean: if I go back to the "Welcome to Star Trek Online!" entry, I find that I've been assigned as a junior officer on board of the USS Bravest (my actual ship, not the USS Demeter, the ship I was on at the time...)
2 - when you add a supplemental to a system entry, the system should let you dedice if you want to associate to the supplemental log the date of the main one or the date from the moment when you are writing it... it could be handy...
3 - the UI of the game and the interface of the Captain's database on the site should implement some filters so you can exclude "activity" and, maybe, even "missions" that have no supplemental on them...

I hope to read about others ideas to enhance this tool that can be great for RolePlayers...

It someone allready discussed this issue, please, forgive me but I wasn't able to find the discussion...

See you all!

    Personally, I'd like to see a current Stardate somewhere on the HUD. I'd assumed a while back that they were running parallel dates between real and STO, when I was doing some stardate->real date calculations... that is, same time, same date, just 400 years difference. Later on, found out time was moving faster in STO, and we're actually a couple weeks from 2411 now (if not days now).

    So yeah, please. Heck, I could honestly do away with the realtime clock, if you'd give me the option to change it to the Stardate.
