So this started today. I activate my drone or shield (haven't tested others, this happens with all variants) and within two seconds, the skill disappears and I have a 15 second cooldown.
This is not holding down the skill to dismantle and trigger the shorter cooldown. This is -always- a 15 second cooldown, and it makes most skills (with any kind of duration in the world) unusable.
It happens even when all I go is activate the skill, and then touch absolutely nothing. The drone (example) takes flight, explodes a second later, and then 15 second cooldown.
Definitely wasn't happening prior to this patch. Anyone figure out a workaround for this? It's making many skills (especially the ones I've unlocked so far) completely useless.

I am to the point where 90% of the time my deployable skills will despawn. I can’t use my turret, hive, drone, seeker. Nothing. They all despawn. I don’t know what the trigger is but the fact that they are unreliable is really hurting me in endgame. I’m absolutely loving the game so far but boy is this frustrating. I don’t even know if they are aware but I hope they are

Yesterday this problem was happening from time to time but today, it start before maintenance Turret and Drone after deploying goes straight to 15 second cooldown or after few seconds and it's like this during missions or just in open world and using those skills in any situation right now for me is pointless

Same thing happening to me as well. Thought maybe my drone was clipping on cover or something, so tried to launch it while out of combat standing in the wide open and got the same behavior. Heals me for a second then disappears, not even the explosion animation -- just disappears and back on a 15-second cool-down. Not good for the tougher fights.
