I'm a casual gamer and was hoping for suggestions from those solo players who've ran through the linear game stuff and found a reason to continue playing more than 3 months. I've done the mission/mining/trading things and they're just rinse/repeat actions.

You can do suicide ganking. The New Order has a very helpful solo friendly suicide ganking community(this is a great use of your 20 day free alt too). Discussing ganks with others and occasionally grouping up to take down bigger targets is a lot of fun. Its pretty casual friendly because you can join and leave the groups as you please.

Its very easy to log in for an hour, do a few ganks, then log off.

I tend to agree with the OP. I'm a solo player myself and I've done the missions, exploration, and mining thing but it doesn't really grasp my entertainment level. I would have to assume for the vast majority of EVE players it's the social aspect through fleets. I wish missions were a little more interesting like in StarCraft 2 where they have little vids in the bottom left with information regarding your mission. Be nice to see a live Aura popping up giving you up to date information as well. Idea

From your post I see you do mostly PVE content, have tried exploration in low sec space or perhaps wormholes?

You can also try faction warfare wich is a mix of PVE and PVP...

get into scanning and get a scan frig. Enter Wh space and scan yourself through 6000 gateless systems....get killed in the process several times but never quit.
