[REQ] Radio Contacts timestamped in log

Radio Contacts should be timestamped on the map as well as in the log. This is a very important feature missing in my opinion. With a convoy's radio contact, you could get its general heading and general speed. With a Nomograph, this can be used to plot a good intercept course. But not unless the radio contact is timestamped like they were in SH3 and SH4.

Also, it would add something interesting if the radio contacts had varying quality of information. For example, a radio contact from a major task force may have some extra heavy security and encryption measures, thus wouldn't give very precise estimates about its velocity or direction to anyone intercepting the communication.

While a lone freighter wouldn't be as lucky to have such encryption measures available.

Ships and convoy's have a "High or Low Value target" property. I'm not entirely sure what that means though.

From the few tests I've done there's no difference in the reports you get. Also the "intelligence received" Event you can set in the mission editor doesn't time stamp it, sooo... still trying to figure this one out.
