Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

With all the new tech, DMSI might actually do it’s programmed goal. It’s the only sub I would consider besides OFv2 after my current run of LTU

I'm seeing in the models that the next version of DMSI will be a significant step up from 3.3.2, but it will not be the final version.  So whatever it does, it doesn't seem to achieve 100% of what I want it to be doing.  Doubtless a lot of that is going to come down not to the technology in use, but making fine adjustments to the existing monster of a script.  I'm pretty sure the next version of DMSI will be technically complete, but it may not be optimally configured yet.  If that is the case, it would be because we have to compare what it does in real life vs what I see in the models.  I can only see in the models what I ask about; sometimes, I don't expect something and don't ask about it, so I can't see it being something that needs adjustment.  That is why I don't rely completely on the models alone, but instead do cycles of modeling vs real live testing.

One thing is for sure.  I haven't even begun doing most of the script work that I need to do for the next version of DMSI, but I really want to run it based on what I know will be going into it and what will be changing.  It's getting several major upgrades.
