sure, lets try to imagine this. lets take plasma, it has 14 def. this thing with 8 GH will do on average 2 damage.
players dont keep lots of plasma in the same spot, and a single mariner beeween them will not allow the dart to attack both of them. if I will move other units, like patrol bot, to kill the infantry - then i will hevily damage my patrol bot, all of them who will try to get rig of the infantry.
GL12 will give average damage to a mech in a forest of a 6.5 hp (7 hp to a marine in a forest)

with your option this dart, against a titan will do 2 damage to plasma, 7 damage to the mech in forest, and lets say 5 damage to a speeder nearby.
total worth of damage will be: 20%*500(100)+70%*100(70)+50%*250(125)=295
now take in the account that there is a repair drone (cost 300), and that this dart has to refuel every second turn, and any of the units above may kill the dart and the repair drone at their turn receiving no damage in return.

because of zone of control this unit cant ever attack more than 3 targets at once.
in many cases ther will not be that many units together. if there are only 2 of 3 units that can be attacked, then this unit does not even pay for itself.

all together will make this unit barely usable...
and admins told that they dont want new abilities to implement if they are not the copy of current abilities. short range UV is easy to impleent, several attacks, and only 1 attack per target - will need some efforts.
if this unit will have 3 normal attacks and all of them can be directed manually - then it can be more useful

defence for this unit is required only against artielry. it can be as low as 2-3, to avoid one shot kill. or even 0 because it should not be in a artilery range anyway. but eclipses and swarmers may deal dome problems

but yes, he always can hit a missile (exodus) but it suppose to be protected anyway.
this tank has very good defence, but poor attack, used just to fill the gaps and to gain zone control and to soak up enemy fire

in M v T it will be quite good actually to use lots of frontier (explosive bot) - because most of his army is a ground heavy.
several such bots can kill a plasma, and being cost effective, if plasma will get near the forest.
so T would need to not to build plasmas, i guess. ost likely he will go with lots of speeders.
then yes, massive infantry from M.
then T will realise its bad, and will build eclipses to kill the infantry from a distance I will have to use ither a exodus to kill an eclipse or tank to push the front line, or an artilery to damage the eclipse
fi I will go exodus, then T will go mech. then I will go for a heavy infantry, he will go speeders, and cycle is closed
if I will go artilery, T will go for more speeders, and i will need a tank anyway...
if I will go for a tank, T may build a plasma to slowly kill my tank (plasma is much stronger) then I will build more infantry, he will make more infantry, I will make a artilery, he will go for speeders and the cycle is closed.
