I think you missed a important line:
I don't see someone that never played EVE willing to give a try because "oh wow, now they changing the warp speed, I've to try this game"
I was referring to last part of the post:
"nor I see an old player coming back because "wow, they nerfing T3, I've to come back to EVE"".I am this old player Sura Sadiva wrote about, I re-subbed because "oh wow, now they changing the warp speed, I've to come back to EVE" (and CCP's event) literally.

Are you sure that this player you are talking about is "EVE material" so to say. Player that you are talking about never searched for EVE game experience in the first place.
So maybe I should look at Rubicon with the eyes of a non-eve player and a person who is searching for the sandbox experience.
Let's start:
Mobile structures:
Sounds cool, I will go and read about it on the main page:
"fitting facilities and storage space"; "last for weeks"; "ideal for personal ops";
Are you telling me I will have my own portable little station/base? This is awesome!
Ghost Sites:
Oh, nice and sounds cool! Something about hacking, exploring and pirates. Interesting, I would definitely want to try it when I'll subscribe.
Sisters of EVE faction ships:
More ships? Didn't that game have like, hundreds of ships? So wait, wait a minute ... now I will have even more options to choose from. Awesome, I will certainly find something I would love to fly.
Guerrilla style warfare:
Need to check expansion page again:
"disrupt production and steal materials from Player-owned Structures"
Ok ... can steal from old and wealthy players now, right? hehe up yours vets!
Hi-Sec Customs Offices:
Whaaat? What is this Customs Offices they are talking about? I better check main page, 'cause I want to learn what I can do in this game.
"ship goods down to the planet surface"; "blow up the InterBus office and build your own in its place"; "to keep collecting taxes "
I can build my own stuff and connect it to a planet to have space/planet economy of some sort and then tax it? That sounds complex and interesting unlike any other game I have ever played.
Warp changes:
So, ships are faster or what?
"Small ships will now reach speed and decelerate faster, with the opposite holding true for the lumbering beasts at the other end of the spectrum."
So, what is small - will be faster and what is huge - will be slower, just like in rl. cool!
ISIS your personal guide to ships of EVE:
wow, that's cool! Apparently EVE is not so hard!
Certificate overhaul:
Certificates? Going to check what those are on Rubicon's expansion page.
"to aid in planning out what skills you need to achieve your goals"
lol, I heard people say that EVE is hard to learn, but how can it be when you have certificates.
(certs are still useless =/ imho)
(btw. game achievements are horrible!)
Rebalancing and roles:
"Marauders"; "Interceptors"; "Electronic Attack Ships"; "Electronic Attack Ships"
I have no idea what they're talking about, but "improved and role expanded" sounds good.
Character screen update:
Oh ... ooook. Facelift for an old system I guess.
Additional features:
"Graphics and Sound"
for a 10 year old game it looks fantastic.
