Advent Rebel Titan Ability (upper left) doesn't seem to function

It seems to me that the upper left ability on the Advent Rebel titan does not seem to work.  I think it's supposed to destroy an enemy ship and then incorporate it as shields and hull, but I can't get it to manually cast nor autocast.

"Owned frigate or cruiser".


You sacrifice one of your own ships.

Yep, sacrifices for the Unity.

May the Unity smile on your suicide. :P

Its actually an extremely powerful ability, given how easily they can get ships to sacrifice (though the chance to revive dead enemy ships thing didn't work for me in my test game against pirate and militia, hope it works on other players). As a pro, \you really got to read the info card more closely Sanchez. ;)

It's not powerful at all. Its cooldown is way too long and when you consider this the amount restored is a drop in the bucket. Adding insult to injury is that it has to be one of your ships, meaning you're losing a ship and in most cases the resources to make said ship. Sure it has synergy with the third ability and some of the other Advent Rebel tech like the ship Resurrection (not that I've ever seen it work) but I still think its a stupid idea. I'm disappointed with the Advent Rebels as a whole. Oh well.

I say target an Iconus Guardian. An ~1500 shield instant heal is nothing to sneeze at.

I love them, once resurrection/clone enemy frigate thing are working properly I'll probably start to focus on them. Guardian is but one of the many tactics to use with that ability, and I wouldn't be surprised if one I started using gets nerfed eventually.
