I just played the gc and apparently the enemy malevolence does not have cooldown on its ultimate ability. I didn’t see anything about it on the modifiers, so I think this is a bug.

Yeah, something is messed up here.I half suspect the self-imposed breach you get reduce opposing Mal ult cooldown, crossing the wires with Exec mechanic. Basing this on nothing except thinking about existing code in the game to explain the behaviour…I have had no issues winning, but can’t get the evade feat. Every fleet I can think of either wins too fast or can’t handle the early ult from Mal and goes belly-up.

This is some straight up bullshit

Same here, tried with different fleets. Profundity, Negotiator and Chimaera and it used it's Ultimate in it's first move.I can win the fight with Profundity but the evade feat seems impossible because you have to drag out the fight but your ships have no protection and the buzz droids thanks to the second Hyena etc

That's even more fun.

I still don't understand why people think this is a bug?

Did you read anywhere "coldowns are reset"? No
Missing information? Could be. In any case, mistake.

They’ve admitted it’s a bug and are looking into it.

So? It's a GC. The kits aren't always the same as player units.

I just see where they reported it to the team - this isn't the same as admitting it's a bug. I definitely think it's bugged, but the answer you got doesn't confirm anything. Thanks for reporting it though - and thanks to the others that piled on with more screenshots and video.
