Standing miner ray

This is probaby minor and may have been reported before.

The other day I was playing around with seismics and the new dreg models; after I blew a He3 rock I noticed a free-floating miner ray. There were miners flying around but I can't tell if one was there when I started shooting the rock.

It seemed a pretty harmless bug, but you never know.

those miner rays ought to do damage... like say if your undefended miners are attacked, u could send them all towards the attacker and "mine" the attacker and maybe all 4 scvs can do a perfect surround and pwn the poor guy

I support the idea - let it be so!

We need ION cannons so we can disable enemy ships then mine them for scrap!!!

It works in Homeworld, and it's hilarious!
