V'ger Probes disappear after ~ 6 seconds

in PC Gameplay Bug Reports
The probes don't stay for 20 seconds but disappear after around 6 seconds. There is also a video from MC Stu on YT confirming this.
Does it only last for 20 sec. under certain conditions or is it a bug?

    Last map you were in (if applicable) Ground Map for Revelations

    What the issue is: Does not operate according to description; beam active for about six second and not 20 seconds, beam does not move to target other eNPC in the same mob as target or other eNPC nearby the point of impact, sometimes it appears to not even activate when triggered (possibly not recognizing eNPC as targets because they are already being engaged by other NPCs)

    What steps you already tried when attempting to resolve your issue (if applicable), Tried repeated use on different mobs (some not engaged and some already in combat on map); tried using device without interference from boffs. Nothing changed with device performance.

    After a lot of ground testing I'm prepared to say the V'ger Probes are acting as single target attacks. After the initial target dies they disappear and have no lasting AOE effect after they visually vanish. I don't know if that's intentional or not but currently it makes them pretty much useless. Only really effective in their current form against Boss encounters that are not staged like the Borg Queen.

    It appears this has been fixed as of the patch notes that were posted for the German STO page but not on the main page.

    I took a few minutes after Bad Moon posted the updates to take V'GER to Nimbus where I found out that they appear to be working as expected AND do attack more than one target.
