Many years ago I bought two starter sets of ST CCG 1st Edition for solo play. I created my own basic solo variant and had some fun with it, but my variant wasn't great, and I think I must have gotten rid of the cards at some point.
I then looked at the entry on BGG and I can see that there are a few solo variants there, much better than mine was, which rekindled my interest.
So I bought a random collection from eBay, and ended up with the following cards, which I compared with a solo variant that I was interested in:
I Have / Solo Variant requires
Ships - Federation 15 / 11
Ships - Fed Shuttles 2 / 2
Ships - Romulan 3 / 6 - short of required cards
Federation outpost 11 / 3
Missions - Planet 18 / 28 - short of required cards
Missions - Space 6 / 21 - short of required cards
Events 28 / 38 - short of required cards
Interrupts 21 / 39 - short of required cards
Equipment 10 / 11 - short of required cards
Crew - Federation 30 / 57 - short of required cards
Crew - Romulan 20 / 20
Dilemma - Planet 18 / 21 - short of required cards
Dilemma - Space 11 / 19 - short of required cards
Artifacts 13 / 9
8 - "Nothing Happens" cards which will be the non-aligned affiliation cards "gold colored border" (I'm not sure what these are?)
9 - "Nothing Found" cards which will be the non-aligned affiliation cards "gold colored border" (I'm not sure what these are?)
So I'm short in lots of areas, and I'm trying to work out the best way forward. I can either:
a) keep buying random collections on eBay, but that would be expensive and there's no guarantee that the required cards would be included, or
b) Attempt to print cards from this website. They would be low resolution though so if I went down this route I would have to completely abandon the physical cards as mixing and matching wouldn't work, which would be a shame as physical cards are much better than what I can print, cut out, sleeve etc.
As far as I can tell every card ever made (plus the virtual expansions) is on this site, which is great, but I have no idea how it originally worked in terms of which cards were in which set etc.
I had wondered if people were selling complete sets as that would solve all problems, but I'm guessing it would be very expensive!
So would I be best of trying to find the physical cards I need? Or trying to find a complete set? Or abandoning the physical cards and printing what I need from this website?
