LOL...didn't work for ENB that's for sure! The one thing I liked about EVE compared to ENB is that it was a bit of a darker, more of a Blade Runner, kind of feel rather than slick, gamey, almost Starship Troopers kind of feel.
This from a newb FAQ could be a harbinger of gameplay. I felt this way during beta...maybe it hasn't changed.

1. Dont play the game in AFK mode. This game is not designed with this kind of playing style in mind and you should NEVER consider your ship and character safe while being away from your computer.

Then I suggest speeding up things like mining and travel, atleast in empire space. Even with the odd rat, it's hard to stay awake wile mining, and traveling is mindless. Heck, I usually watch TV & mine at the same time. A lot of this game involves "boring" tasks that encourage going AFK or not paying much attention.
Not sure how you would make basic mining it's self more entertaining ... maybe make it sorta a mini-game where you could get some extra ore, might be fun. Traveling in empire would be faster if the jump range on gates was increased.
My tip would be to find some people you enjoy chatting with, so when gameplay slows down a little, you can stay frosty & aware of any dangers that might pop up.
