I kept using sensors to shield the colonists, storage and the landing gear to get this result

Better atmosphere, temperature, and water in the above run could add another 1k, so it seems that the maximum is at least 13k, though I suspect it is higher.

I sacrificed the colonists a couple times. After all, they are the only resource that is useless until you find a planet.

I guess my score was like ~7k, but I did end up with a civilization of highly enlightened Neolithic cave-people.
