Time Dilation and timing siege/triage cycles

It is common practice to use out of game timers, or applications like g15 countdown timer to keep track of siege/triage/mining cycles so you can know exactly when said cycles are going to end etc.

but now with time dilation, out of game timers have become useless.

this is because the game clock slows down but the timer you are using keeps going at normal pace.

for example in a recent dread deployment the 5min siege cycle lasted 20min in real time due to heavy time dilation.

so what I propose is an easy to use in-game timer. I highly suggest something similar to the g15 countdown timer as its simple and works.

the most important thing though is this timer MUST follow time dilation so it runs same speed as the node.

please and thanks CCP
