Eve's client is lightweight enough to run two or even three instances simultaneously. So back when I played regularly I would do that (i.e. fleet manoeuvers i.e. nothing much) on my main character whilst running missions/ratting/managing production or sales with my "carebear" alternate character, or alternatively running around neighboring systems in a cloaked covert ops ship, scouting on behalf of that same fleet. All with Excel and other crucial management tools open on another screen, of course. If you let it be so, playing Eve is not unlike running a small business and is perfectly engrossing.
