Scoring on Empire Standings

#6
I kinda like the old scoring method though(Not because I'm biased or anything), it was pretty simple and satisfying. But I have to admit it doesn't do justice to players with well-established empires like Mortius, Vectorus or Dean. But either way, I believe that the old and new scoring systems are both very lazy implementations, a truly fair and equal scoring system would be an amalgamation of the Economic, Military, Technologic and Diplomatic(?) power of an empire.
 (And also as xxqpxx has said this system can be as easily abused as well).

IMO if you wanted to reflect the territorial extent of an empire, shouldn't it be represented on the starmap? I.E. painting the map your colour is a very common and satisfying goal amongst many strategy games. A way this could be represented is that settlements could project empire influence into surrounding star, with the sphere of influence getting bigger as the settlement gets stronger(higher population/military presence?). This could also effectively shoo other empires from settling or coming near your empire. I.E. a good example of this would be pre-2.0 Stellaris:
