game event "macro" recorder?

[cptnoname]

has anyone developed a mod that could record in-game events vs a timeline and have the capability to replay them at will? i'm thinking a player could quicksave, record the actions of one ship and save them, then quick load, record the actions of a second ship as the game plays out the recorded actions of the first, etc., or perhaps a gui that controls the in-game time. this kind of thing is used in many other game systems for making machinima and i'm very surprised that i haven't seen one pop up in the past 4+ years. it would also be useful for turn-based game battles

this is the closest the mod community has ever come so far
