I could probably publish X4A-1600 sometime soon.

That would be awesome! 



I'm guessing you'll be keeping the same script with just the tech upgrades. Perhaps sometimes down the line, would you consider a spin off of X4A that also includes some of the "Goal 2" scripting from DMSI? 

The way the X4A series works is like this.  Each major branch is the first number in the series.  So X4A-1000, 1511 and 1600 will all be branches of Version 1, with no change to scripting except making the key script conform to the scripting conventions of the generation it is built in.

X4A-1511 is built in 5.11G; X4A-1600 is built in 6.00G.

I can't break off what I am doing at the moment and go look at what DMSI goal 2 is, can you specify?

When I run X4A the arousal and aura is awesome, but I find myself getting a bit of a low mood and less social over time whereas on DMSI it makes me feel really happy, confident and outgoing. 

If you can tell me why that is, it would make it much easier.  But you can't, because you can't see the scripts, and I can't because the script of DMSI is insanely complex.  Unfortunately.

I'm wondering if a version of X4A that also included some light scripting on confidence, self-esteem, deservedness etc. might help boost results without hurting the aura or triggering resistance. It's on my wish list anyway!

X4A is designed to be a minimal as possible in V1 so that it is executed as much and as easily as possible.  V1 (X4A-1xxx) will have no changes to the script in terms of goal content.  That is for a later version.
