How does the illuminator "phantom ship" special power work?

from Sins Forums
When it is activated, do the "phantom" illuminators take as much damage as real ones before they disappear or some fraction? Does there appear to be twice as many illums to the enemy even in the "strategic" map while the power is active? Can you "start" the power before jumping then jump and appear to have twice as many when you arrive or do you have to do it in the system when you arrive? Can you control the "phantoms" in any way?

When the ability is enabled, another illuminator will show up. It will take the same amount of damage as a regular one, but do zero damage.

Ability is activated when the real illuminator takes damage or you can manually enabled it. The fake illuminator will last a minute or two.

You can control the fake one and makes jumps, but the fakes dont last too long.
