Do you have to scrap a card to get the trade or combat from its main ability?
The rulebook says a Ship's Primary Ability triggers on play, and players agree scrapping is optional.

No. A Ship's Primary Ability triggers as soon as you play it, so its Trade or Combat does not depend on scrapping. Scrapping is an optional extra, used to thin your deck, and it can be worth doing even when you do not need the resources.
