New player already liking eve online

[furzball]

Alright so I'm new to eve. Still on my one month trial. Finished up some of the industry (mining/delivery) missions. And next weekend for me, I'll be doing another set of missions. Here's what I like so far:

-Setting up stuff to work in background or offline. Training/production type stuff. That way I can work on programming and other things while not having to worry that no work is going into the game.
-Set up a mining run which is just about as automated. Undock, find places to mine, warp, mine, warp back, dock, use materials/veldspar change to tritanium/ sell sell sell! Well... since there's shortcut keys I can probably even set it to run on voice commands via voice attack.

 

thats as far into it as I've gotten. I'll figure out more once I get to my weekend. But definantly my new game addiction. I got introduced to Eve same as most other newcomers: heard about the sandbox nature/free economy of it. Mostly battles where multiple thousands/millions of dollars blown up along with ships and so forth was what tugged on my ears. So both stories of grand battle and economy convinced me I should give the game a try and so far, worth it.

So, ladies and gents, anything else I could look forward too? Tips and suggestions? Fun things to try? etc.
