				Figuring out the best ships without promos for each scenario

				What are the easier ships to win each scenario with?
My thoughts, sans promos:
 

 - Any ship obviously
 

  - Subsidized Merchant feels real good with the Replenish
 

 - Bounty Hunter to get some chip damage points by Jettisoning the Opposition
 

  - Not Scout (?)
 

 - Gazelle to actually fight
Ideas/Opinions?

				I'd put in that the Scout can be a good ship.  Over load the deck with  

 cards to take advantage of its ability, like almost half the deck.  Kind of skimpy on the  

 and add in some good  

 to enhance the  

.  Because it has a great  

 and a good  

 rating as well I think it can do well.  Yes a  

 with the need for several capacity tokens can be ruff, but that is where the  

 cards can fill in the gap.

				I think the subsidized merchant, of all the base ship decks, is probably the easiest to win.  It has three  

 built in, and it has five  

 slots.

				I dislike using the Subsidized Merchant for any solo scenario except for 5 (which is the only scenario I dislike due to aforementioned reasons.) It's vastly superior to other mercantile ships, but this is offset by its vulnerability to piracy. Since piracy isn't a thing in any of scenarios 1 through 4, it feels like I'm  cheating when using the Subsidized Merchant for any of them.

I could see that.  In solo play, the Subsidized Merchant is very strong.  Of course, there's always challenges you could add.
