Very functional, but the appearance is a little off, and the style is half the fun of CY_borg

A fairly elaborate (for only 10 pages) but quite straightforward scenario of "arrive at the base and deal with the bad thing". I have read it but not run it yet.

My only real concern here will be that this scenario seems 100% a death trap if the party doesn't arrive with weapons in hand. This is a dangerous assumption in DiS as a new party is extremely unlikely to have more than 1 weapon, if any at all. I'd advise allowing PCs to harvest vacuum guns from the ceiling turrets if they are to have a chance to deal with the threats onboard.

I'd also advise sprinkling the station with random loot and stuff, as it is a bit bare and spartan as presented. In particular there are very few skill checks and rolls involved, you'll have to invent these yourself.

The final "boss fight" deserves some special attention, mostly since the boss has absolutely wild amounts of HP, three times any creature in the core book. To avoid this becoming an endless slugfest, maybe put some hidden explosives somewhere or something.

Finally, one thing I'd love to see is the included map in a higher resolution.

Anyway, this is (IMHO) good value for money even at $3.

I wish it packed d12/d10 on a single page, like previous issue did. Unnecessarily big spreads on multiple pages are distracting.

I've found this book to be quite enjoyable. I've run a game of Death In Space using this book's new origins and have read through this book. As far as gameplay balance goes I do think most things line up fairly well. Other fan-made origins often make the core book's origins very underpowered compared to the new ones they add. This book strikes a good middle where most origins are useful or can be very useful depending on the context they are used. My only issue is some seem very unbalanced or unneedly 'goofy'. The balance has to do with a few origins seeming to have very powerful things. Such as making any foes roll moral checks at a disadvantage which seems quite powerful and some origins have one option which appears to be purely better than the other option for that origin. The goof is there is straight up a ripoff jedi, another that allows you to hurt yourself to feed your crew and a few others. Granted 95% of the origins are balanced and not 'goofy' so for 3$ I do think it's a steal and I highly recommend it.

No moves, no asset, no character sheet...i know it's sold cheaply, but it's definitely not enough even for 2 dollars...

This incoherent mess has the ugly, sloppy layout you'd expect from the worst fan-made homebrews. It doesn't know what it wants to be as a "game," and the author's indifference to this turd is apparent by the fact they didn't even bother converting the docX to pdf. Possibly worth the 50 cent pricetag if only to be amused by how bad it is. But if you have something, anything, better to spend two quarters on — don't bother with this.
