I did the math, takes 5 seconds for the full cycle of "mine, break" to finish before a new cycle begins (by break, I mean the cooldown after the laser mines). From there it gets like 45 mass in a single cycle. 5000 divided by 45 equals 111.1111, but we'll round to 111. 111 multipled by 5 (time) = 555 seconds....That's 9.25 minutes. When you add in the time required to go from base to asteroid that's probably 10 minutes in total to get a full load and dump for about 6,500 credits (I have to assume that amount of credits is right)
