/Funny, I've spent more than 4 hours last night in 3.0.1 (with no single crash and avg. 25fps) as I was afraid that once 3.1 is released the game will be unplayable for few weeks until patch 3.1.1 is released. So, I enjoyed stable 3.0.1 gameplay, had a lot of fun in Starfarer Gemini -- finally cought that m**fucker -- and I'm ready for crash-testing 3.1.
Accor ing to Boredgamers video ,the ptu is now open to all backers. I think the full 3.1 live release is aimed for next week or even tomorrow if all goes well.
