Is the y-wing bugged?

DocDoom

I finally got the y-wing with enough stars to add it to my negotiator fleet, abilities maxed. I have noticed however that whenever I call it in as a reinforcement, it does not give retribution to all allies like it is supposed to. On top of that, as soon as an enemy attacks the y-wing the retribution buff vanishes and it does not counter-attack.

I have looked around but not seen anybody else mentioning this; is it a known issue? Being worked on or ignored?

TVF

I've never seen this problem on allies.

The Y-wing only grants retribution for one turn, so it comes in, gives out retribution to everyone including itself, and then takes a turn, which clears its own retribution. Which is weird, but WAI AFAIK.

And you are certain you have the Reinforcement ability ‘Backup Procedure’ upgraded to level 3 (purple box right above the star count/blueprint box in the bottom right corner, green or blue if not upgraded fully)?
I haven’t seen any issues with it not passing retribution (unless blocked by buff immunity) to the crowd.

DocDoom

Absolutely certain, ability is maxed out. It was that very ability that made the ship a priority for me. Another guy in my guild has the same problem.

I call it most frequently when I am facing malevolence fleets. Is there anything in their kit that I am overlooking that might be interfering?

TVF

I run a Mal fleet, so no.

Working fine for me.

Try to record a battle so it will be easier for everyone to help find a solution.

Works fine for me, other than retribution not lasting long enough to be useful and Y-Wing taunting, preventing anyone from using retribution

My Y-Wing is clearly bugged, it can't land mines worth a darn!

Checked the dev tracker and didnt see it listed as an official bug.

Not sure what that means though...

TVF

Edgy.

I play against the same fleets in arena every night. There are so many bugs in ships its not even funny. Some nights the enemy capital ship will go before my ships take a turn. Jka still locks with UL. Ive seen it with ahsoka as well.

I maintain 1st in my shard. But ships is my least favourite game mode mostly because it gets neglected like a ginger step child that nobody wanted.

DocDoom

Well, I can definitely confirm that the ability works for the AI when I'm doing a mirror-match...enemy y-wing screwed my fleet up nicely.
