I just posted something in the FreeStars discussion and I made me think that some people might be interested in this. It is nothing complicated and many people have proably already figured this out, but I will post it just in case people are wondering anyway.

Since SS races get added research to the tune of one half the average spent by all races in that field that year they end up getting a bonus off of their own research. This bonus increases as the number of players decreases because their own research is affecting the overall average more. Also an SS race with Generalized Research gets a double bonus. Here is how much the SS race's own research only helps them.

Total # Races | % increase in research
2...........................25.00
3...........................16.66
4...........................12.50
5...........................10.00
6...........................8.33
7...........................7.14
8...........................6.25
9...........................5.55
10.........................5.00
11.........................4.55
12.........................4.16
13.........................3.85
14.........................3.57
15.........................3.33
16.........................3.13

Therefore a SS race with GR in a 2 player universe ends up getting 156.25 % of the resources they spend dedicated to research.
