[Have at ye]

So glad that X4A-1600 would be available down the road since that's supposed to "cast a wider net" if I weren't mistaken, while an upgrade to 6G shouldn't hurt either.

OTOH, other programs in 6G would still take priority and therefore X4A-1600 might not be built in a fairly long time then?

BTW, most likely DMSI could very well be yet another candidate for an upgrade at some point?

The X4A-1xxx series is the most open ended of the X4A series. 

When 6G shows up there's going to be a flurry of activity because we have some very important titles to be built shortly after it shows up, but upgrading X4A-1511 to X4A-1600 simply requires a rebuild of the key script using the new skeleton script and build techniques.  It won't take much time.  At the same time, I'm going to be very busy with the first two programs and a flood of requests after those.  So we shall see.

I have been contemplating upgrading DMSI to 5.0 in 5.11G.  My original goal was to only build it one more time in 6G but it has been longer than I expected.  At the same time, that would mean I had to build it as a 6G also, and then there is the fact that a 5.11G release would have to be released as a Premium.  And I have to work on g^... so it's getting to the point that I have more to do than one person can handle.  We shall see.  I think I'm going to focus on developing the 6G skeleton script after Self Development is released, and then build and start testing the first 6G prototype.  6G itself is still months away.  So who knows, maybe a DMSI v5 could happen, but I'm far from solid on that.  We haven't even released X4A-2000 yet.

I personally would be very much up for a 5.11g DMSI 5.0. It's why I came to these forums, to test these bad boys.

It would also be a good opportunity for a final round of feedback before the 6G version.
