IME, by the end game the score position is generally an accurate expression of the actual galactic power situation. I agree that in the early and mid-game the score is often wrong.

Late game is rough, too. Mineral stockpiles mean way more than resources in that situation. Plus, many races look more powerful than they should, and others look weaker.

But since most of the games I've played have been without PPS, really I'm talking about a concensus of perception about who is number one based on shared intel.

So, essentially you don't know, and you are guessing. That is total dependant on your intel, your skill as a player, and the skill of the other player. <shrug>

Speaking of intel, I'm surprised by your comment about the lack of recon ships. I tend to see and use quite a lot of them, as intel is absolutely vital even if you are playing with PPS.

I agree, which is why it always surprises me. I usually don't know it unless I play IS, or at the end of the game when I ask for passwords of the top players. More often then not, they have few or no cloaked galleons or nubs.
