Hmm...Redpower?
But anyway, udating won't be that simple. You will need to download all the mods, resolve ID conflicts, and play. And that may be hard.

You can always use 1.6 packs! I would suggest ResonantRise, by KirinDave. It's PREETTY cool, it's kinda like a mixture between ampz/voltz and Ultimate.
Ultimate is 1.4.7 and the map is highly incompatible with a 1.6 map, don't even bother trying to convert it you'll find if you do manage the conversion that the chunks will not load correctly.
As dgdas said, you are better off simply starting anew with a 1.6 pack, rather than trying to convert a 1.4.7 old pack upwards. It would probably horribly corrupt, destroy, and screw your world over if you tried, sadly.
Even if it was possible to port your world (which you didn't really state as your goal so we're all assuming this is your goal), the effort required to salvage your world would be greater than the effort to start a fresh 1.6.2 world.
I too also recommend Resonant Rise.

Sorry, just had to.

Well as your waiting for ultimate to update with some not happening. You might as well just jump on board with the three other mod packs that are replacing ultimate. Each one of them are 1.6 and most likely will be appearing on they knew launcher when it goes up. Shadow chapter is one of them and the others are slaughters mod pack I don't know his name of his mod pack I thought it was overdrive something but I might be wrong. And the third one I don't have any information about. So there is a lot of mod packs waiting for the feed the beast launcher to update so they can be compatible with 1.6 mod packs so please be patient
I wouldn't say that, you never know what might happen in the future. I'd rather call Ultimate postponed.
the big question though is, do you want to use your current Ultimate world in 1.6, or do you just want to play a new world in 1.6?
if it's the first, it is possible to update your world, but it's tons and tons of work, and you need to know exactly what you're doing, and completely porting your world to 1.6 won't be possible, so you'll probably need to import certain chunks of your world instead of the whole world. but if it's the latter, FTB has some really good new modpacks that are as good as Ultimate which are updated to newer versions
no plans doesn't automatically mean it's dead. by saying it like that slow was able to stop people from constantly asking for Ultimate to get updated, but still leaving a possible option for it to be updated again in the future. but the longer the modpack is not being able to update, the harder it'll ofcourse get for it to be updated.
but I guess it'll be quite hard to update Ultimate worlds to the current 1.6 version were Ultimate to be updated
Ultimate (1.4.7) is locked, there will never be another update to it because it's not possible to update without breaking every world. Hence the 1.5.2 packs were made. Because of MAJOR changes to mods (thinking TE, IC2 for starters) it's highly unlikely Unleashed or Unhinged will be upgradable to 1.6.4 without something drastically breaking, not to mention the biome adjustments made by Mojang to 1.6 which a 1.5 map may or may not be able to cope with.
It's not FTBs fault, it's not Mojangs fault, it's not the modders fault, the game is in an evolution of an ever growing state (by Mojang) and the modders are getting more inventive with every new mod bringing things which we as players certainly didn't think was possible (think EnderIO pipes and AE storage).
Sometimes the old cannot adapt to the new (maps) and rather than force it and break it, everyone is better starting again IF THEY want new stuff.

I don't think that's quite what might have been meant. Ultimate was basically a compilation of as many mods as could be installed together without causing computers to spontaneously combust. So a 1.6.4 or later version of Ultimate wouldn't be just the 1.4.7 version updated, but a compilation of as many mods as could be shoved together into the same pack without causing huge problems.
Then it won't be ultimate. ultimate is dead. if anyone makes a pack that tries to do the same thing, (good luck with that) it will not BE ultimate. it will be something else, and probably be called something else.
I hope to god FTB don't just cram a load of mods together and call it Whateverpack, packs need themes desperately. Cramming as many mods in a pack does not IMO make for a good mod pack, in fact totally the opposite it makes a really crap modpack.
While I agree, for things like Mindcrack and DW20, those packs don't need a theme. They are for LP's where you want to do as much as possible, and make it as entertaining as possible. Generic packs like FTB Unleashed do however need themes.
This just in: generic no longer means generic. The "theme" is general high-power magic/tech.
No, there really isn't a theme. It's the same as most other packs, tech with one or maybe two magical mods, and a few extras. It's nothing special. Packs like this should exist for general purposes, but there should definitely be some real themes to modpacks now. Also, modpacks won't be updated to 1.6 until the new launcher comes out.
