Will E6 have a new script?

The script of E6 is the upgraded and heavily optimized script of E5, with a 5.11.3G skeleton script and a huge increase in impact.  It has enough optimizations added that it is now several pages longer than E5's script, but no new goals or statements have been added.  Partly because of time, partly because what I wanted to add appears to need to be custom scripted for it to be compatible, and partly because the key script proper of E6 alone as it is is so long after being converted to handle this level of impact rating (342 pages) that I am not sure I can actually build it.  The structural support scripting alone for this impact rating is over 300 pages long.  So adding to it beyond that or re-creating it is not an option until 6G.

Also, compared to OGSF how much higher will the impact level be?

I can't get too specific on that, but it's many, many times higher impact rated.
