Ally ship takes damage while assisting

Snake2

I've noticed that often when my ships assist it looks like they take damage based on the animation. I assumed this was a visual bug, but today my tie fighter was barely alive and was called to assist by gs. My tie fighter promptly died.

I looked through the abilities of the enemy ships I was facing and could find no reason my ship should take any damage for that. (Ackbar, maul, boba, reaper, jc).

I can't remember if my tie had a DoT at the time, but DoTs shouldn't trigger when assisting anyway.

I've had one of my ships disappear when called for an assist so I'm not surprised

The only reason I could think is dots too but like you said they should not land until its their actual turn. Not an assist

Has this been acknowledged by the dev team? This definitely still happens, it's almost like it counts the assist as a turn for the ship in question.
