Confused about Resurrection

April 18, 2009 1:00:04 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

I have a question about Resurrection for the colony Advent.

Is it possible to transfer an enemy's cap ship levels to your own ship?

(I tried testing it but the enemy cap ship i killed was  lvl 6 and it made the ship i wanted to use it on lvl 6, ironic)

I checked the cap ship guide list. It just seems the description is a little vague. It transfers the souls of a destroyed cap ship to one of your own.

There is quite a few posts on that topic, but in short it seems to be that resurection takes the highest level of Your capital ships lost, no matter where it was destroyed. So did you lose a level 6 cap ship anywhere?

Basically, if you lose a level 6 radiance, you can target a new level 1 radiance to immediately upgrade it to level 6.  This is quite nifty, as so long as you have ressurrection you never actually lose experience progress on your capital ships.  Of course, this makes it less useful for your first capital ship and more useful later in the game once you have multiple higher level caps.

What I don't get about it is if you target it against enemy ships or friendly ships that recently got destroyed? And whenever I turn it to autocast it just fires off whenever the cooldown is ready, no matter what my fleets are actually doing.

The tooltip could be better.

it seems the ability actually keeps track of ressurections available, I.e., one destroyed level 10 halcyon can't get you 15 level 10 halcyons(pity) only works for YOU not your allies or your enemies.

The auto-cast is broken; it just randomly targets any nearby capital ship whether or not the ability will actually do anything.  Don't use auto-cast with this ability.  In fact, there are almost no ultimate abilities you would ever want to set to autocast.

But how are we supposed to use it in the first place? Do I have to wait until a ship actually dies in combat before targetting the wreckage and another cap ship of a lower level?

ressurection automatically knows all destroyed cap ships of yours. you just have to target it on the ship you want to inherit the levels
