Your ownship's movement is not important if determining target true course and speed are not important.

If you're playing with map updates turned on it's pretty much a non-issue, the bearing line terminates at the target location. Also, drawing the line from your ship as it's plotted (with God's eye assistance) is arguably a bit of cheat. Some would argue not a cheat, the tracking party updates it for the captain. Depends on if you want to play the role of the tracking party or not?
