Space Station Phoenix Playthrough

Suggestion for these live plays, at the end of the game I'd love to hear some quick feedback from each player. Something like how they liked the game and how they felt about their strategy. Thanks

21:25 @Tom Vasel, I played Space Station Phoenix with my gaming group a few days ago. We were also confused about whether or not taking the level-4 bonus can be one of the two level-5 options you take on a diplomacy track. Page 10 of the rulebook states "The top two spaces of each track allow a choice of 2 different bonuses from the first four spaces of that track." (Note: it's counting the starting space through the level-3 space, not the level-1 through level-4 spaces). So, we were wondering, what is the point of moving up to level 5 of a diplomacy track if the bonus is the same? Then one of our players pointed out that if two players are tied at level-5, then those players will still be able to take two options, because they would end up picking the level-4 bonus INSTEAD OF the level-5 bonus, thus allowing them to STILL pick two options from the first four spaces of that diplomacy track.

I posted this in the rules forums on BGG, and Gabriel Cohn confirmed it.
