Okay, glitches first.

I am noticing, using Starcrack 5.5 if that matters, (which is way better than any of the other AI, atm), and the latest starcraft patch, that when I am attacking my enemy, the Void Rays do not lose their attack when swapping from one target to another. As long as they are in constant combat, their void ray will start out doing just as much damage as it was against the last unit. I don't think this is intentional, it makes them rather too powerful.

Second glitch, is if the Mothership is hovering around the Vortex after she drops it, then enemy units coming out of the vortex will be cloaked for a short period of time.

The strategy that I was investigating was the best way to use Psionic Storm. I don't know if this is the best way, but it works very well.

Have your Mothership use Vortex on a large group of Zerg/Terran/Protoss. As it expires, have X number of High Templar cast Psionic Storm around that area, and watch the bloodbath.

Just to clarify, the Void Rays are working as intended. They are supposed to maintain their charge as long as it stays in continuous use. After about a second of being out of combat, the charge will dissipate.

But good use of strategy. Saw a video on youtube where a 2v2 had a terran and a protoss player using Vortex with a nuke. Worked really well for them lol.

Are you sure? It says in the description as long as it is attacking the same target.

I think this can be healpful when you play vs real player :>.So aaaam its on lost temple with stalkers you can teleport at the islands that can be reach only with drop ship/warp.So basicly you can harass his workers by putting stalkers on the hill that is near the expand and after he come to drop units to kill your stalkers you can just port them on the island and keep them alive after that put them back etc. xD.
Also maybe most of you know this,but for ppl who dont put all your nexuses to one ctrl so you can use chrono boost faster and more efficienly  :>.

Positive. I've watched more videos than I can count, and the Void Rays all do the same thing. And if it wasn't meant to do that, Blizzard would've removed it by now.
