So.. I noticed the flaw that can be exploited with Martian Copyrights, and decided to push it to its limit, to show how much it's unbalanced.
Sponsor: Europe (money from tech)
Founder: Politician (sweet sweet +20% money from Martian Copyrights)
First rocket cargo: NOTHING!
Upon arriving, immediatly spend all money on outsourcing, and research all social techs.
Continue outsourcing as you gain more money from techs.
If, by the time you unlock the two 7k cost techs, you haven't unlocked Martian Copyrights, scrap the game, and restart the whole process.
If you unlocked Martian Copyrights at 7k or lower, congratulations! You won the game!
Now, you just have to repeat Martian Copyrights, and reinvest all money in outsourcing. You will quickly gain ungodly amounts of research per day, allowing you to then complete the tech tree in a few sols, without landing a single rocket on mars!
For my run, I was semi-afk and was not very efficient. I think that I could have completed the techs by sol 30-35.
Alternatively, you could start your first rocket with one of each rover and 10 electronics. You start with 1.1M less than an empty rocket, but it should be enough to jump start the Copyrights engine, and you have enough to put 9 sensors tower (with the tech to ignore energy and maintenance), allowing you to quickly scan and analyze the whole sector.
