That new Skull Merchant UI seems like a "nerf" in a way
You have to now look at your radar to check whenever you can re-activate drone. Before the timer was visible in the power icon at all times. It's more "tedious" you have to use the radar more which slows you down a bit too.

You also lose the light’s original purpose of telling you if you could place a drone. It was green if you could, red if you had a drone and couldn’t (too close to another drone or hooked Survivor), and off if you had no drones.
