Summary:
Add a "Standard time" (station time) to the marine HUD.
Benefits:
Its hard to plan any operation for marines without some sort of standardized time based implement for them to go by. If you tell a squad that you need them to rally up at north nexus in 5 minutes, it can lead to confusion as the troops might lose track of when exactly 5 minutes is up. If you tell a squad you need them to rendezvous at table forts at 0400, thats alot harder to be ambiguous with. Humans rely on the watch, and its unknown why nobody on a military ship can get proper timing without looking at the few wall clocks set around the ship ( if its even enabled.)
Adding in a 24 hour clock to the HUD will give all humans a little more tools to stay organized instead of relying on looking at their actual computer clocks or watches IRL (which wont be synced correctly as well due to the tick lag and such)
We have the ability to add notes In-game, both out of convience and the thought that somewhere on a virtual person is a virtual memory they can use to log in information.
Details:
Im thinking you can either toss it into the HUD, which would be easy, or you could have a watch item that you can toss on characters if you really want to be nitty gritty.

Gaze upon me,
for I have wandered deep into the ancient tombs of knowledge to which lie madness and sorrow, cleansing a path for all those who walk behind me...
...
But seriously, does uh, anyone know the way out?!
~Furthermore, I consider that Floodlights should no longer be destroyed.~

For some reason, no server has ever had a clock in the first (status?) tab for standard human avatars.
