Idea: Distance-traveled

Would it be practical to have two SEXPs that measured the total distance that a ship flies?

One SEXP would mark when to start recording distance, another one would represent the distance that the ship traveled since the recording started, another would stop recording distance, and another would stop recording distance traveled.

Are you thinking of this from the point of view of distance from an object?, or absolute distance?

I'm not sure where to start looking for this one...  :confused:

Something like this might already be possible using existing sexps.  I can think of a few ways of doing it depending on what you are trying to actually do.

It could probably be used for a refueling section where your ship is immobile for longer if it flies more...
