Chrono Miners are essential in keeping a commander's economy going. They will go to available ore patches, mine the ore, then return to the Ore Refinery to deposit the load. What sets it apart from similar vehicles is the onboard Chronosphere. Instead of driving back to base, Chrono Miners will simply teleport back instantly. This allows them to make a hasty retreat once they're done mining, as well as speeding up the delivery of the ore. The radiation given off from the Chronosphere conflicts with telepathic waves, making it almost impossible to brainwash it's driver. Hijacking it by force is a much more subtle solution though.

Fits the purpose of the vehicle.

I see hijacker immunity is not on it... Does that mean hijackers will be useful against miners? #Tongue

I'm still considering whether I should them vulnerable to hijackers or not. There's only a handful of hijacker-capable units anyways. Still fun to troll players by stealing their loot tho Laughing

Chrono miners can be parked on enemy buildings, hijack one near their base, drive it over a factory entrance, press S to stop it. Relax as the factory is disabled and get's blown up if the miner is attacked.

Then the miner can be teleported back after it's done it's job.
