More interesting Economic Victory

Hum. Maybe the economic victory need be more interesting. I like the 2 and 4. The 3 can be cool, but is a bit far of the dust concept.

True, it deals more with overall definition of wealth, but these are all only simple examples. 

I see 2 main paths to fix this economic victory, one is only using current mechanics, and could be ideas described above, perhaps combined; the most important thing is imo that you should have clear advantage above rivals, not just be first to accumulate like a million, even if half galaxy already have 999999. I would not call it glorious victory. ;)

Another path would require overhaul of trading company system, and I would definitely like to see it - cornering the markets, dedicating your companies to certain businesses, questlines for their improvements - securing the stock and resources, expanding production/services, fighting competition, getting rid of pirates, overcoming red tape (internal and external) balancing exports-imports, sabotaging competitors, trying to achive monopolies, aaaaaaand so on. 

But this would be enirely new system. If it was interesting for anyone and actually someone could mod something like this, I would gladly describe this in some more details, as I had some notes from the system I designed for different game.

Meanwhile, I would appreciate fixing economic victory in simple and quick way, as for now I want to just disable it, mostly it spoils fun.
