I don't know if this is a bug, but everytime i am the target of a crowd control attack i lost the control of my mechanical units too. For example, the Terror of Aliens affect my rippers, but in the description in the manual it says that it just affect organical units.

Here is the Description of the "Fear Shock" from worldshift.com

Fear Shock
The alien uses his psychic abilities to instill panic into the minds of living enemies. Those affected stop following orders for a while and chaotically run about.

Edit:
I checked the german manual and the german worldshift page, no information that this ability only works on organical units.

I think you get that wrong.

But the unique sentient machine is the Constructor. Rippers, Assault Bots and Hellfires doesn't have mind, just microchips. They shouldn't be affected by that skill.

the minds of living enemies

And robots are not living creatures.

Living = not dead or destroyed

Fact the crowed controls always afact "organical" and "mechanical" units.

Ballance issues - that is why shamans drain life from bots and other things that seem like nonsense . If bots were immune to that it would be too much of an imba ,though there are way more elegant solutions to the problem.

And yes- I wasn't around for some time.

P.S.
Always ignore the manuals - I have yet to see a manual which properly lists and describes the units/skills in a game.
