eh, It's neptune systems MO to introduce new content and then continue to push the release date back. I wouldn't expect it any time in the near future.

This was posted March 30th on their Facebook page. Since then, not a word.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT UPDATE

TRIDENT
We know many of our Control Freaks are eagerly awaiting the Trident that we unveiled last year at MACNA. And social media has been chattering non-stop asking for an update. Well we'll just will come right out and say it — it looks like we are slipping about three months on this product. This means that our Neptune Systems Insiders (NSI) should be able to get their hands on a Trident in 2-3 months. Our development teams have been working non-stop on this product. Technologically everything is rock solid - we've just have had some hiccups in component sourcing and manufacturing areas. A new production prototype of the Trident will be shown at Reefapalooza (RAP) in Orlando on April 7-8 so if you want to see it in the flesh, make sure to come out to that event.

VOICE IS COMING!
In other product development news, we have something great to announce. At RAP we will be showing off a beta version of Apex Fusion that has Amazon Alexa support. We plan on making voice control and IoT integration a key feature of the Apex going forward and this is the first step. We are starting with Alexa and then from there we will be examining the viability of Apple Homekit (Siri) as well as other voice tech out there. We will be demoing Alexa control and feedback at the booth at RAP so be sure to stop on by for a demo. Voice integration is not just a gimmick, there are some really helpful ways it takes your Apex to the next level and delivers on our promise of “less hassle”. And yes, it will work with an Apex Classic and Apex Jr.

AI HYDRA HD/ and PrimeHD SUPPORT
We will be releasing beta version of support for these lights in the coming weeks. No additional hardware is required. We will be demoing this at RAP as well.

FINALLY, APEX BASE UNITS WILL GO ON SALE SOON!
Since the introduction of our latest Apex model in 2016, a number of our customers have asked us to simply sell the Apex base unit separately so that they could swap out their Apex Classic and begin running the newer version. Other customers wanted to own one as a backup unit. Until now the incredible demand for complete Apex systems was such that we could not set aside base units alone to be sold for these purposes. The day has finally here where the Apex Base unit will be sold on its own. Not only that, there will also be an introductory discount. The new Apex base unit will retail at $399.95 and come with a set of calibration solutions. Availability will begin on 4/1/2018 from authorized Neptune Systems partners and through the end of April you will be able to purchase it for $349.95 ($50 discount).

Of course we have a number of other exciting things up our sleeves that we will be announcing in the coming months, so be sure to stay tuned to our FaceBook page and Twitter feed.

Actually, there was an update concerning the Trident a few weeks back.

Quote:
There are not any winners and losers. We have ongoing projects. Some software. Some hardware. Some both. Each time we have another NSI project, we use the answers you gave in your application, along with your history in NSI, and your online forum(s) history to determine your eligibility. That said, if we select you, and you state that do not want to participate in a particular project, that may be used as a negative for a future project. Likewise, if you are selected for a project and at its completion you did not participate much or at all, OR, you were super helpful, that too will be taken into consideration in the selection process for future projects.

We will have a number of NSI projects kicking off in the next few weeks. None of these are the Trident NSI yet. All I can say is that if your participation in NSI is mainly for the Trident, it would be wise to be super helpful if selected for any of these upcoming NSI projects in the interim.
That was approximately 6/14 (Date on the Neptune forums show it as 2 weeks ago).

If that hit a snag... no big deal. Just wish they'd give an update. I'm impatient.
