I know this is probably a stupid question, but is it possible to raise your research percentage past 110. I know given the new faction bonuses it SHOULD be possible, but is it really?

Yes. Yes it is. My research percent is 105 right now, and if I were a masochist, I could have joined a faction that would give me 110 percent.

Yes ... here is one of my empires!

How do you get a research bonus without being in a faction?

Is it legal to create a faction and let your other empires join the same faction so as to let all your empires have a research bonus?

Understood But the costs for having additional empires seem steep

But once you've got your empires into the faction, they're in. All you pay then is a few administrative overheads, but the benefits you gain should make it worthwhile.

Is there a help page somewhere that gives the costs for starting a faction and adding members etc. other than the one in help in the alliances tab?

What exactly does a Trade Alliance do for you? There are supposedly links that explain this in the Alliances Tab, but I can't find them anywhere.

If you have a trade alliance with someone you can buy goods from them at half price, and don't need to pay the commission charged on sales.
I don't know if there are any other advantages.
