[feature request] Gmod-style p2p
I play this with friends sometimes and while it is fun, having to join a public server to do it causes issues. for example, last night we were trying to race along the highway on utah but some people were customizing their cars so I was lagging every time they did and this resulted in me freezing in place while my friend kept moving. there isn't anything we can do about that because he simply has a better pc and internet connection. We both have old desktops we could set up to host a server but doing that would require a lot of stuff that, for various reasons, neither of us could do right now. we also don't play often enough for a permanent server to make a lot of sense.
for these reasons, I think having the ability to host a temporary, low occupancy, p2p-only server straight from the server list would be a much more user friendly way to handle multiplayer between a handful of friends when playing with randoms would cause issues. like I said in the title the implementation could simply be like gmod (the interface largely already is) and this would make it simple and intuitive to play with friends only and temporarily. I would love to actually be making a PR but I'm no developer.
You might simply want to disable the auto que. Options -> Multiplayer -> Uncheck "Automatically apply queued vehicl changes" Doing so requires you to click the orange button on the top manually when you want to que every new vehicle spawn or edit. But it makes it lag free in the sense you are complaining

That would probably help a lot. I still think the p2p thing would be useful though.
