AI, 3D render, sound, human interface ( mouse, joystick, keyboard ), physx, etc.... once you have multitasking, you can make multithread software...

[quote who="dolynick" reply="25" id="2047504"]I'm fairly sure that the reason the AI builds up fleets at Graveyards is because of the derelict ships in the gravity well. It can't attack them but it feels that it must put ships there to attack/defend anyways. At least that is my speculation as the ships in the Graveyard do display on the hostile side of the ship counts for the Graveyard's gravity well.[/quote] Yes, it is the reason...
