Describe the feature
The Seraphim Selen (T1 Land Scout) has a cloaking ability.
And when this ability is active, the unit is unable to be selected (with a large group of other units,) to prevent it from moving.
However, the Cybran T1 Land Scout (Mole), which also has the same ability, does not have the same feature.


Expected behavior
Cybran Mole to have a Deselection feature, same as the Seraphim Combat Scout has.


Screenshots
Selecting all units on screen:

Result: Selen and Mole are both Cloaked, yet Mole isn't deselected.

Additional context
Holding Shift (or not) when selecting a Selen, regardless, will always be deselected if another unit is selected with it.

Question is whether this is a bug or a feature? What are the thoughts about this?

I thought this was a feature, as the deselection only happens when the Selen is cloaked.

Yes, that is an intentional feature. But is it intentional that the Mole is left out?

Wouldn't make sense why it was left out.
They both share the exact same role and abilities within land operations.

It would make (more) sense (to new players, as well) if similar units were concise and behaved similarly.

However, the Cybran T1 Land Scout (Mole), which also has the same ability [as the selen], does not have the same [deselection] feature.

Mole's cloak is distinctly different in that it is mobile. You can cloak a mole, bring it with your raid, and if the enemy doesn't have a scout the mole will live due to its cloak and gather useful intel. You would have to fight the UI if you wanted a cloaked mole + mantis to attack together.
Moving a cloaked mole costs nothing, while moving a cloaked Selen costs you 3 seconds of re-cloak time, which is why Selen gets automatically deselected.
