Currently, the only function supported is a short-cycle module duration in 1/2. 

The proposed model works like this:

Assumptions:

1 - Currently implemented timers work accurately

2 - We can activate Both Mining Lasers as a group (Both on the same asteroid, when short-cycling distributing lasers is an unnecessary complication )

3 - We can get either free space on Ore Hold/Cargo Hold or (Max Cargo/Ore Hold Capacity - Used Ore/Cargohold capacity)

Theory:

1 - Calculate the time for an asteroid to die in seconds or 10th to seconds

2 - Calculate the time until ore hold full

3 - Adopt the shorter timer as a Mining Laser shutdown timer

If the time until asteroid die > time until ore/cargo hold full

Time to run = Time until ore/cargo hold full

Else

Time to run = Time until asteroid die

Advantages:

1 - Only one-timer will be running at any given time, ensuring it's activated properly

2 - Easier target management coding because only one asteroid will be targeted at a given time and lasers activates as a group.

3 - Easier target management when in fleet. (because each bot will only claim one rock on grit)

4 - Can be built as a module activated via a UI checkbox.

5 - Will reduce the time needed for the miners to break even, therefore, reducing detection and BAN risk.

6 - Also It seems that the timer as it deactivates both mining lasers at the same time. Activating lasers as a group will only see the need for one active timer at any time. This will make implementation take a lot less work
