What happens when you run an old Descent 3 server for longer than 2 hours?
Behemoth, Zero, FOIL, Terminal, Bunyip, Neo. The greatest pilots in the universe. :P

Nothing bad should happen beyond just 2 hours. After 12 hours without a restart, the server will start to show signs of losing floating point accuracy, like powerups being duplicated. That's what I've heard about 1.4 anyways. 1.5 servers might behave differently.
