Seriously, I am already planning on buying two starter sets, I don't think I will need to buy extra dice.

Ok?

I am wondering (hoping) they upgrade the dice app also.

Yes - I'm hoping the dice app will get an update as well.

I'm not sure two starter packs will be necessary for this game.

Really the reason to get another one for X-wing is it gives you a slightly cheaper way to field up to 4 Ties and the extra templates are nice. This game doesn't look as template heavy and the movement template looks sturdier.

Not to mention the fact that it is highly likely that the same ships that come individually in Wave 1 expansions will have different cards in them.

They don't even have dice made! That is 3d modeling if I have ever seen it! I expect to see armada by the summer, if we are lucky.

At Gen Con FF said Armada and Imperial Assault were slated for early 1st Quarter 2015.

Although at the time I got the impression that Imperial Assault was coming out sooner than Armada .
