The drones in 0.3.0.1 seem way to frequent. I was playing with 2 friend last night on my server and drone showed up every few minutes. In some cases one would spawn just after we took the prior one down.
gonna need to see if it can be dialed back on my end. It is crazy that AI seems to have a massive Drone airforce at their disposal.
I too am using GTX Gaming and while I have had some issues with my server due to my getting up to speed with running a Server. The few times I have has any technical issues their support has been excellent. Their support has been prompt and thorough. I was very pleased yesterday to see the 0.3.0.1 update ready for my server on the same day it was released publicly.
I initially signed up for a 3 month term as a trial to see how I liked their service, but now I plan to renew for a full year.
Customer service means a lot to me and so does technical knowledge of support staff. GTXGaming has shined in both of these areas for me.
I'm currently with GTX Gaming and have had nothing but a positive service from them, support tickets answered quickly, they are quick to update their files i.e. we got 0.3 early this morning. I've not tried other server hosts so cannot compare my experience but I would recommend GTX if you don't want to go down the Dedi route.
