I'm not sure what would be WAI, but RAW use of the Negotiator "Unending Loyalty" special grants each GalRep ship UL for 3 turns. The thing is that if you use it while someone still has UL, it doesn't "refresh". So I have granted UL to all GalReps for 3 turns, then the very next ship to go is my Anakin ETA fighter. Anakin takes his turn...and UL expires. Now, that would be the correct time to expire for the original UL (from Negotiator's Republic Determination passive) but it is obviously 2 turns too early for the 2nd application of UL to expire. ...so is this WAI? Is this a bug? It doesn't seem like Anakin should get LESS protection from UL than other ships since it's the only one that gets the bonus UL at the start of the battle, but that's how it usually plays out for me.

Been like that for a long while. They know of the issue, but who knows when they might fix it. In the meantime, try not to ever use that ability if someone already has it

Well, that's confidence inspiring.

As I know they didn't qualify this as bug nor WAI.For me it is definitely a bug.

Didnt read the post but more than likely. Cg is the Bethesda of mobile games

Maybe it even stacks itself (invisible) like the stealth from Geo Spy and it reduces the CD of the cap ship by 2, who knows...

They acknowledged it in a reply during the November Q&A, not the main Q&A posts but towards the end of the thread.

I am hoping they talk about it. I think UL needs to have a stack like mechanic that will build to a max of 3 turns anytime it is applied?

Reported in September and so far ignored (aside from the little blurb in the Q&A already mentioned).

There is no eta on the fix for the unending unending loyalty on eta which happens when eta gets unending loyalty while it has only 1hp left. Basically becomes invulnerable for 3 turns.

I just fought against the malevolence my eta was near death it just took its turn and UL wore off. my capital ship turn came i applied UL to eta, then the opponents gauntlet starfighter hit my eta, didnt die but lost UL and was not stealthed. It was then destroyed by the next hit.

I have no idea what happened. To me it looked like the gauntlet dispelled UL

Honestly this entire mechanic with the negotiator seems bogus i think it needs attention
