Advent cap ship resurrection question

I'm a bit unclear on how the Advent Progenitor Mothership crew resurrection ability works. In several games, I've noticed the ability almost constantly being on cooldown and spending antimatter if I set it to autocast, even when I'm not losing any cap ships. Is it a preemptive kind of ability? If not, why is it activating when no ships are dying?

Thanks!

The AI is not too smart with abilities on autocast. I'd definitely not have that on autocast.

I've used this ability exactly twice, but it worked fine both times. It only works if one of your capital ships has been destroyed. If you lose a capital ship, you use resurrection on a new capital ship you build to replace it, and the experience of the destroyed capital ship goes into your new capital ship.

thanks for the answer! Is there a time limit on this, or does it just short of store the XP levels somewhere until you build a new ship and use the ability on it? Also, can you use the ability on a ship already built when the first one's destroyed?

No what i know is that you can cast it anywere and anytime, if you have lost a cap ship. and it do not have to be the same class to work.
