A Notes feature, where you can pin a note on planets and locations on the map. You can scribble notes to help you remember stuff and on the overview map (perhaps at a certain zoom level) a special icon would be visible over the location to indicate you have written a note about it.

Just an idea. ;)

Its been on the master list wish list thread for awhile (page 34), but worth mentioning again because it would make "playing" the game more efficient.

Good idea.
