I'm stuck at work.

Is 3.9 good enough to warrant rushing home and possibly running over a few people on the way?

Well depends on how good terms you are with the local police, I suppose. :evil:

I gave it a quick try, last night, and I liked what I saw!

Bugger. I'm in work and when I go home I have to take my daughter to Swansea. Have to call at a mates there before picking her up. So looks like I won't be able to play it until Saturday. Good thing is, I got ALL day Saturday as the wife is in work for 12 hours. Kids can have their PS3 on the big screen and I'll have peace to play ALL day.

Shit....Just remembered, I have to take them to a Christmas Fayre. Mooaaaaaan.....

Same thing here. Stuck at work, after a morning of playing delivery driver for the boss (covered three counties this morning).

Cant wait to get home and try the new fancy update... and probably do more delivery work (virtual this time) doh!

Doubt I'll put much time into it this evening considering Gamma is out tomorrow, but should be interesting to see what has been pimped.

I installed the update but was too tired to try it out last night. Been at work all day and the band have a gig tonight so probably won't get a play untill near midnight :(

I am assuming it's another wipe for Gamma so is it really worth it?

Just played a 1/2 hour of it, and it's looking good.

What I've noticed:
- Sound effects appear to have had a good bit of compression and they sound much better. Not so booming or tinny.
- A bit of stuttering entering hyper space (or whatever they call it), but it transitions smoothly, especially on exit.
- Your head no longer clips the seat back with Track IR (I hated that)
- Commodities screen given a freshen up, and descriptions of what the commodity is and does. Some new commodities too
- Outfitting screen now lets you swap weapons around, so no more selling and re-buying them. Also an overhaul of the outfitting screen to make it look nicer, plus weapons, and internal components are now separate.
- More control options added for supercruise, super hyper turbo space, etc. Bit too many if you ask me.
- New menu screen (I honestly don't care)
- Menu screens a bit more funky, but harder to read (again, I couldn't give a monkeys)
- More traffic around stations
- Too much interdiction (I think someone at Frontier may have put a decimal point in the wrong place :D)

No technical issues thus far, loaded fine, Track IR, Joystick, all worked so no complaints there. Looking solid.

Sounds like a plan
