To OP:
From what you've written, you have done a lot of stuff to be done in Eve. A few suggestions I thought off are already suggested by some.
- Create your own corp/alliance. You can have your friends in there if you wish or join their alliance. Now there are various ways you could use the corp...
-- Create a massive industrial corp and profit even further by mass producing expensive ships/mods. T2 mods/ships and dreads etc.
-- Pirate corp to make a name for yourself.
-- 0.0 Corp. Join an alliance and get some big ships and engage in some truely massive lag fest battles with cap ships.
-- Make a trade corp. Buy and sell your way to control certain items where possible.
-- Make a noob training corp. Help new players skill up, donate them some ISK and ask if they could return it later before they leave your corp.
Join a corp/alliance of like minded people in a specialty you want. You've said you don't like to trade much anymore, and that you've done most stuff, but you don't want to buy any cap ships out of fear of losing it easily, this is where you can join an active 0.0 corp/alliance in which you can fight large battles for control of space and even build up your own outpost.
Donating ISK to random people is generally a bad idea, unless you think they deserve it or you feel like giving, but spamming 15bill to the general eve population is a bit much. Like you said you killed a new guy because he was silly enough to wander into low sec, but you paid him and taught him a lesson in Eve, which he repaid you for.
Become a ship/item collector. Every dockable ship, every module, even office/rare ones. Even though you likely won't use them, it will show other people how influential you are and how rich, but it is something you can say that many others can't, that you have every dockable ship in the game and module.
You could influence trade hubs. Not really making ISKs, but buying popular items/modules/ships and reselling them at another less used trading hub, thus making people consider selling more items there causing a chain reaction, ofcourse the system would need good properties to become a trading hub such as station services and number of stations as well as surrounding area access.
Collect BPO/BPC ingame. Similar to collecting all ships/modules types.
Find what is fun for you to do, it might be nothing I said. One day it'll appear to you. Or like someone else said, take a break and you will eventually feel the nagging feeling to play Eve, and then find the reason you want to, then do something with it.
Turn the tide of the FW, buy ships for people, help them with powerful ships, and well dominate the enemy, like playing for Amarr who seem to have lowest systems control.
Form an Anti-Pirate corp with like minded people and go hunt pirates in low sec, while protecting mission runners, even using them as bait :)
Help out people in the help channel which can be a good way to meet people and make more friends.
Like I said, do whatever you want, as long as you are happy and it brings you enjoyment.
I am in a similar boat to you, except without the mass of cash, but I still have things to try. I mined a bit, mission ran a bit, FW'd in blobs a bit, did 0.0 a bit, but haven't done pirate or anti-pirate or small group FW yet which I plan on :) Maybe by some strange twist of fate I will become a trader or industrialist... I've done so in a few other games.
