How is your work into FRM 4.9 going? I am looking forward to seeing how it works in the next several  programs.

Also will E4 be 5.75G or 6G? I recall you saying the former but I can’t find the specific post here on the forum.

I'm still in my "a few days off" after MIR v3.  I will be starting work either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, depending on certain variables.

It is possible that E4 will be 6G but most likely 5.75G.

@Shannon 
Oh ok. Well I hope you enjoy your time off. 

I really like E3 so I am very much looking forward to E4 when it does drop.

First post in a while so I am out of the loop, I just have one question: how is it looking with a new US/LM in the future? Are you planning to make it in the near future?

If I remember correctly, US/LM worked for some, but for some others it gives mixed results. Then version 4 came out but I didn't see people reporting results, so another version was mooted. This was a couple of years ago, are there any updates? I would want to give it another try, I'm sure many others would too.

Thanks.

If a sub already contains a shield, adding a different shield will definitely create a conflict

Does this mean that E4 will be published soon?

Btw @Shannon   what's going to be in USLM4.2? Frm 4.8? Any shields?  

Also is this going to be a even better version with more power or just more stability so it can work?

Thanks in advanced

Furthermore, unless I am mistaken, you generally don't see things like financing options for a luxury product.  They also don't go on sale.

I'm still figuring out what we will be doing in the end, but part of what I want to do is offer everything in 6G and basically have a unified and consistent product offering, instead of a patchwork of products scattered all over the place technology wise confusing our customers as to whether or not we actually do offer the best products on the market.

In case you are willing to share, I wonder, what was the problem with a streaming or subscription model? Would it be more feasible now that streaming technology has grown? (Netflix...) It would be fantastic from a user’s point of view - I would subscribe to LTU5 right now if the option was available, but dropping 1K+ is not easy for most people, even if the product is well worth the money. It would be even more interesting for new users who do not necessarily know whether the product would work for them or not.

With prices going up (for the good reasons you explained) and the economy going down, some alternative solution could be win-win.

Streaming, so far, has been a risk of piracy and we haven't found a good way to do it.  I don't know how we would do anything like Netflix, or if that would even bee feasible.

Subscription models, we cannot find a solution provider that works, and again, piracy.

We periodically look again and see what we can see, but at this time, the only thing I can think of is something involving something likea patreon account, and I don't know how we would make even that work.

USLM 4.2 is intended to primarily correct the issues with v4.1.  FRM will either be turned off, 4.8 or 4.9 depending on specifics.  I think it's unlikely to vbe 4.8 if it's turned on.  If it has a shield, which seems likely, it will probably be DRS.  Again, these things will be determined by the models.  Finally, it will be based on the latest skeleton script, having the new script additions.

I know there are iOS apps that offer meditations with a subscription model. I would think that’s relatively easy to implement and safe for piracy. Apple would take a cut of course.

Will these changes in 4.2 allow the user to manifest faster?
