1 In light of all the frustrations caused by drones and how potentially strong they can be in the early game, I think it would make a lot more sense if instead of starting with a drone, the GC didn't get its first one until level 3. This would also keep it more in line with the Strike Commander, which feels a bit overshadowed right now by the GC. It is still pretty viable to get to level 3 for a few cheap upgrades or if you're going for a commander push strategy, but makes it so that you do have to invest something for the incredible anti-skirmisher potential that the drones give. 1 In light of all the frustrations caused by drones and how potentially strong they can be in the early game, I think it would make a lot more sense if instead of starting with a drone, the GC didn't get its first one until level 3.

3 Especially the drone synergizes very well with the Rocket Launcher build, since that makes controlling the targeting of skirmishers against the GC a lot more awkward and wastes a lot of potential damage from the skirmishers. It's not even bad at spoofing raiders, and can dodge pretty well vs even glaives at max range.
