Figuring out the best ships without promos for each scenario

[NightHydra]

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.
