Please add a "Mission Log" or "Mission Journal".
Auto-fills with all events and dates, as well as some humorous comments. Keeps infos about combats (what ship was lost, who we destroyed) and victories.
Keeps a few snapshots from combat (during key moments).
The player can add his/her own comments.
In the end, the journal can be saved to disk and maybe shared with other players, uploaded to a site or published on the web.
