Unlike Eve Online, which uses a subscription-based payment model, Dust 514 will be fee to play. As such it will rely instead on micro-transactions.
The game will feature two currencies: Aurum, which can only be bought with real money; and ISK, the currency in Eve Online which can be earned in both games. Aurum can only be used to buy cosmetic items or items that can also be earned in-game without paying real money.
