Captains Log thoughts

There's been some discussion of thew captains log recently, some people seem to want something they can just write notes in, some people want ti to autolog stuff you do.

Personally, I would like it to be both, I guess. Hopefully it will track things I do and conversations I have with aliens, so I can read over them again later. I would also like to be able to write whatever notes I want in there, but also to click on something on the starmap and have it auto-populate coordinates for that thing into the log. Click on a planet, and it will put in the system it's in and the galactic coordinate of it. Maybe even a picture? Dunno.

What would then be very cool is if I can go into the log at any point, and click on anything I have logged in there with coordinates ("x:y:z is where I found a ton of gold but didn't have cargo space for it", say) and then when I click on it in the log, it highlights it on the starmap for me.

Any thoughts from anyone else?
