This event serves to notify the vessel that something happened that requires it to shift its center of gravity.
Not to be confused with the CoGHasChanged event, which serves to tell everyone else that the CoG has been shifted and contains the data where to. This event contains no data and is pretty much useless for modules or module functions. It should therefore always be consumed by the vessel. Also, this event should only be generated by the vessel. Modules and module functions should send a MassHasChangedEvent and let the vessel take it from there. Otherwise, there will be multiple ShiftCGEvents coming in, leading to redundant code execution.
this event has a default delay of 10 seconds. This is because in many circumstances, like firing a thruster, the CoG technically changes every single frame, but shifting it around all the time is not useful, neither for cpu usage nor for stability. Some actions that can assumed to be momentary, like assembling or disassembling a vessel, can define a lower timer. Recommended in such cases is a delay of 1 miliseconds, which will fire the event in the next frame under any reasonable circumstances. a timer of 0 will lead to immediate propagation at time of creation and is not recommended.
