Do you think that the first week will be the most important? I don't.
Consider that we have about 250 districts. And let's say that there are 50 corps out there in a position to buy a pack of clones, 30 who can buy two packs, 15 that can buy three, and 5 that can buy five. I figure this is accurate +-50%.
So on May 6 (0 battles)
100 corps buy a district. No districts are previously occupied, so there are no battles. No battles means we don't care about scrambler rifle skill points.
May 7 (<20 battles)
, 100 districts generate clones and 50 more districts are taken. Maybe there's a battle or two over key districts, but there are still 150 districts open, so probably not.
May 8 (<20 battles),
100 districts generate clones (and now have between 260 and 300 clones)
50 districts generate clones (and now have between 180 and 200 clones)
20 more districts are taken with clone packs (some battles, maybe)
May 9 (50-100 battles),
100 districts are bored and launch attacks, but many will be to unoccupied districts)
50 districts generate clones (260-300)
20 districts generate clones (180-200)
5 districts are taken with clone packs
May 10 (100+ battles)
200+ districts occupied
50% in a position to launch attacks
Split 50% into unoccupied districts
May 11-14 (Game On)
250 districts occupied
Late comers breaking in.
Organized alliances crushing small alliances
Hawaiian corps largely untouched
May 14 (Scrambler rifle)
So, while this week is important, by May 14 the mayhem will only be 3 days old. The first 4 days will be opening moves with few serious battles. (less than 170 spread over 100 corps) So I think you'll be able to cope having spec'ed to scrambler rifle off the bat.

i just dont think that there are going to be any unocuped districts after day 1
Maybe my info is out of date. I know you can buy multiple clone packs, but can you buy them all at once? I thought you had to wait until the next day.
If you can buy and deploy them all at once, then its:
May 6
200+ districts settled.
May 7
Most districts making clones
Rich corps attack districts to shore up territory that they didn't get day 1.
May 8
Most districts making clones
Rich corps attack districts to shore up territory that they didn't get day 1 or 2
May 9
Game on.
Even so, that's only 5 days until Scrambler rifles.
