Have you played it?
Time compression costs nothing, it is always available unless you do a mission with other players in a wolfpack, there you can't click the time compression button all players of a wolfpack must play in realtime.
In addition to the time compression you has some sort of jump points used on the strategic map, you can jump into the patrol area from your home base if you don't want to travel the distance in realtime or with time compression (like jumping into action in SH2)
These points are recharging during the patrol and you have enough free points to jump in and out of the patrol area with a Type II (a Type II have not much fuel to do more than one mission in a row) and enough free points to do more jumps with a Type VII or better. If you want to do endless jumps and don't want to wait for recharging (approx. 10 minutes while doing the mission) you can buy more points with credits earned by prior gameplay or by credits for real money.
Each player plays its own campaign, there is no cooperation in a global world like in other MMO's, you can decide if you are willing to pay for things or not. Paying gives you no advantage among other players because there are no other player in your campaign.
