These aren't microtransactions, these are donation packages. The microtransactions are just now coming up within the game, and they're in line with the normal cash shops that you'll see. Voyager Direct unter the Store dropdown is the cash shop, and will eventually leave the web site and be in-game only. The correlation is 1,000 UES (United Earth Credits) per one US dollar. Like I said above, what you get for the donations are just backer packages. They're giving you some token gift for giving them money. And giving them money is allowing them to make a game without going through a major publisher. Publisher suck the funds out of a game for themselves and marketting purposes.
