One line summary of your issue
Abilities not triggering correctly/ initative penalties not carring over.

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
So online skirmishes have become even more unpredictable as there are a couple of abilities mechanics that don't function as they should or only sometimes.

The first is Initative penalty carring over. there are 2 ways to get an ini penalty in this game. 1 get melee hit by sumo. 2 get a knockdown. If you aply a initative penalty to mech that has alredy used its turn the penalty carries over to the next round. Now I have seen that those penalties not getting carried over by both means. sumo hit not carrying over and knockdown not carrying over. I can only imagin it's a bug.

The second mechanic is Bulwark with melee attacks. If you stand still and melee attack you can get bulwark, but it happens so randomly that I'm not even sure if it's a bug a broken mechanic or if there are rules when it applies or not. I have seen it applie with moving in place before attacking, or without rotating. And I have seen not getting bulwark doing the exact same thing.
Either Problem makes serious mp allmost impossible because they are core mechanics that have huge influence on the turns. When they don't trigger when they should games just fall apart.

3 Side note why does Sumo initiative debuff only applie to one of the two dfa attacks? Makes no sense to me and only makes the attack more random.

Steps to reproduce the issue
Not reproducabe to me. Occurance to random and functioning under seemingly same situations

I have seen a stationary Mech with Bulwark not get the state after remaining stationary and punching another Mech:


It happens at 02:03:00 in the video if the timestamp doesn't work in the link.

Hey so this is the only thread I found related so adding to it. Last night I put a pilot with bulwark in my melee build mech, but when I melee hit an enemy mech while "remaining stationary" bulwark didn't activate. Is this a bug? I hope it is....

If bulwark is not supposed to activate on stationary melee hits the current display info is very misleading.

Experience was the same as the video above ^^^
