resurrection?

Resurrection works if you have at least two capital ships in the same group as the Progenitor Mothership. What happens, is if one of the capital ships, is destoryed, then the Progenitor mothership will make the exp of the other ship equal to that of the ship that was destoryed.

So lets say that you have a level 5 Radiance Battleship, a level 3 Halcyon Carrier and the level 6 Mother ship(min level need to get Resurrection) in the same group(around 5000 units form each other). If the Radiance battleship, is destoryed, then the Halcyon carrier becomes a level 5 carrier( which is equal level to the destory battleship).

@homefleet. no.

You can use resurrection at any time, as long as you have lost a capital ship. I have done this: lost all my ships except for the progenitor. Built 7 new ones, used Resurrection, and brought 1 up to level 9, two to level 8, a couple to level six and 7, and maybe 1 to 5. I actually used resurrection on another progenitor first, and had both of them use resurrection on other ships to get their levels up twice as fast.

Wow, suddenly that ability sounds useful! Does the Progenitor need to have been in the well when the capital ship died? Because otherwise that gives me yet more incentive to use Progenitors.

@ CommanderAdama:   


Works pretty much exactly like he described. I always thought the destroyed ship had to be in close proximity like homefleet said, I was pleasantly surprised when someone told me the other day how it actually works.

How...strange.

The Progenitor doesn't have to be in the well that the ship died in, I just tested this out because I was under the impression that both ships had to be close to the Progenitor and the ability had to be triggered right before the death of a capital (making it near useless in my mind).

I loaded up a game where I had a lot of veteran capitals, moved my Mothership to my homeworld, then skuttled one of the capitals who was in the adjacent one. Then built a new capital at the yard where the Mothership was waiting, used it, and magic.

However, when I did the same thing again I had no results at all from the Resurrection ability, despite scuttling another capital in that same well.

If it's not too much trouble, can someone who has done it to multiple ships walk me through the process? Where the ships were in relation to one another, what order they are destroyed, etc.? I find this fascinating, I love Advent and their special abilities, but the loss of just one high level capital can cost the game for Advent because of how important they can be. The possibilities presented by this ability seem very interesting.

I tried to test how this ability worked, one time, myself, and got similarly inconsistent results. I wonder if there's something we're missing, or if it's just a little buggy.

Wow, I have to go and test this out my self, but I have always had the mothership near the other caps in the fleet. Did I also get the leveling thing wrong?

That sounds nice and all.. but is it worth it given that you need to "sacrifice" a cap ship for it to be good? It sounds like it definitely. I will have to use it more often since I often use the progenitor. Maybe it's not worth it to give the progenitor the resurrection ability immediately at level 6, but instead to put the point into resurrection once you have 1 other cap ship at level 4 or so.

Tested this out. It looks like Spirits are staying at the place the ship is destroyed. They can be picked up by a progenitor at the system of destruction and adjacent ones. If the spirits disappear after a while i dont know. The progenitor doesnt have to be present in the system or adjecent one at the time of the destruction.

What?   Resurrection is there so that when your lvl 10 Radiance gets blown to dust by an entire fleet focus firing it, you can build a shiny new Radiance (or other ship of your choosing), use your Mothership's resurrection on it, and completely replace your boss unit that you just lost in combat. Not really sure where the "sacrifice" comes in here.

That comment was based on the fact that games typically end before a player gets multiple high level cap ships, one of which would have to be the progenitor.

Also, the progenitor is an amazing cap. Both shield regen and malice are flippin awesome. I honestly thing that like, anima tempest or the radience lv 6 ability would be a better one to have in a small game.

In large games resurrection would be awesome, but only until you were hit with my returning armada. RA needs to be nerfed.
