Lieutenant Colzet reads:

"to flip 1 random facedown Damage card assigned to it faceup."

Saboteur reads:

"choose 1 random facedown Damage card assigned to that ship, flip it faceup, and resolve it."

Does this mean, that a card flipped by Colzet doesn't get resolved?

If yes, what does this mean for crits like "Minor Explosion"? Does it stay faceup?

If no, is there a different reason for this wording?

You're reading too much into it.

But if you need a reason, I'm going to go with text space

As Traybert said, space issues... Since I honestly doubt that the Dev's intentions were to create a non-working ability.

It happens the same for Rexler Brath.

I just tried this one the Strange Eons card generator and it goes to five lines of text, which makes the font a lot smaller. Safe to say, it was worded with space on the card as a prime consideration. And it's also safe to assume that once you choose that random card and flip it, it is going to be resolved.

Same wording on Brath as on Colzet. The FAQ confirms that cirts that come from Brath's attack that resolve immediately and then are flipped faced down can be flipped face up to resolve a second time using his ability.

Thanks a lot!

Needs a FAQ as for Rexler.

I'm not saying it works that way, but it could be designed to work only with "static" crits like direct hit.

"Static" is not a real, reliable category; you're inventing a distinction in order to be confused by it. If your argument is that Colzet and Brath flip up a card but don't resolve its text*, then no damage card will take effect.

*Note that there's no real question of how Colzet's ability works, or Brath's.
