If any of you has run BASE 4G, you know it is a beast of a sub in itself. 6G is exciting, sure. And Ultimate Writer in 6G is, I believe, with his current workload, may take many, many years. 6G is not here yet, so let us not focus on that right now. Shannon's list did include Ultimate Writer, but it included dozen more subs so we can never guess how long will take for it to build and release in whichever generation. We can only make wild guesses at the moment.
Lol yeah i get what you mean. But considering that 6G is already slowly being released into subs I think 5G for UW is perfectly reasonable. Also, considering that it's a single stager, I do feel it will be made within the year since I'm pretty sure Shannon wants to get a lot of the 5G single stage subs out of the way so he can concentrate later on multi-sets and 6G.
I think it also greatly helps that a lot of the subs to be upgraded already exist, so it must be far easier to rebuild an old script rather than create something brand new from scratch. This might seem obvious, but UW 5G compared to Active Manifestation 5G or whatever will likely have very different approaches to how they are built, not just because they target different goals, but because one is brand new and the other is a mixture of old 3G subs.
How things have been going lately with all the advancements in tech and scripts. I am sure that UW will be much more than just a mixture of old 3G subs. For instance, even a focused sub like OF 5G has over 10,000 words for a script. So it is safe to assume that it will take him time to fine tune and release it. But yes, very different from Active Manifestation that he hasn't worked on before. And therefore, much faster to work upon.
