Just wondering what people are planning on picking up. I think I'm going to get one of everything and two of each fighter pack, two gladiators and two Mk II frigates. May 12th is rapidly approaching, so I probably won't get them all right away, as I still have bills to pay this month...
I currently favor the Empire, so I might focus there first.
I have 3 core sets, one of each core set unit, two glads and assault frigates, and two of each fighter. I am thinking I will need to pick up at lease two more of each fighter and another glad/AF in the near future but for launch day I think that will do.
Probably 1 of each, with 2 reble fighters (maybe imps also). Will probably also get a second MKII and Neb-B.
If I take the plunge into Armada I think I will get one of everything to start. X-Wing has shown me that some units get redone in future supplements (Imperial Aces, Rebel Aces, etc.) So at least for now 1 of each.
I could totally see and Imperial pack with a repainted Neb-B and Imperial cards for it. Lots of ships could have been used by both sides, even ISDs.
Thanks,
Duncan

I have two Core Sets, and for Wave I ended up ordering one of each ship, and two of each squadron. I'm really tempted to get a second Assault Frigate and a second Gladiator, but I think I need to wait for more Wave 2 information to see how many I'll really want to have in my fleets once I have Wave 2 ships available.
I think there's a good chance I'll end up buying even more Wave 1 squadron packs sometime soon. I can easily see myself wanting to experiment with squadron arrangements with more than 4 of the squadron types besides X-wings and TIE Fighters.
one of everything to start. 2 Rebel Squadron Packs, 3 Imperial. eventually Ill bump to 3 Rebel packs, 2 Glads and 2 Reb Frigates. Depends on how list building and testing goes.
I pre-ordered 2 Glads and 2 Imperial Fighter packs. I am waiting to see all of the upgrade cards for the Vic before I decide to buy one. I don't see myself ever running 2 Vics so I won't buy it unless there are some sweet upgrades. I'll buy an AF , another 'Vette and the Rebel(scum) fighter pack at a later date. This way I'm not dropping too much money into it all at once.
* One of every core set ship
* One Gladiator and AF Mk II to start with, and probably at least one more of each later
* One of each fighter pack to start with, and at least two more of each later
In the game? The Scum faction reuses some models. In the EU star wars the rebels would repurpose just about anything they could get their hands on. Just about every imperial piece of equipment has been used by the rebels at one time or another.
I preordered 1 of each wave 1 ship/squadron.
My guess is that I'll end up getting another squadron for each side and another gladiator.
Will have to see how the assault frigate plays out on whether or not to get a second one.
One of everything and a second GSD. Might pick up a second Space Whale (Assault Frigate) after I run one for a bit.
Wait did me and Reiryc just say the same thing again? Hmmm... I guess we can agree on something's. 
the only logical answer is "all the things"
I only play Imps (for now anyways)...
1 Vic
2 Glads
2 Imp Squadrons
1 Movement tool
Right now my plan is to get for the Empire one model for each named ship that they release a card for, and two fighter packs to start. For the Rebel not sure yet if I am going to get them or not.
There is only one answer:
One of everything to start. Probably a second set of both fighters, another Glad and maybe another Frigate if I think I would use it.
Core
Victory
2x Gladiator
2x Assault Frigate
Nebulon B
3x Corvette
2x Both Squadrons
I'm planning on buying 1 of each ship from the LGS. If there is further game support by the LGS, I'll purchase further from there instead of the online retailers. I'd like to pick up probably 4 Gladiators, 3+ Vics, 3-6 of each Fighter and 3+ of the Assault Frigate. The Neb and the Vette, I'll have ample from Cores, I feel.
Although, in my head, I picture 2000 point games, not 400 point games. Too much time playing 40k, I guess.
@Beatty Do you use the same moniker on Ordo?

We are probably more alike than different 
Two of everything except the Neb-B, Corvette, and VSD, I will only buy one additional of the previous ones listed, just for the equipment cards and extra ship
Already have 2 core sets.
1 of all to start off.
I am going to get my second Core soon. (Tomorrow hopefully)
I am most likely going for a Gladiator, Mk2 Frigate, one of each fighter packs, and maybe a neb B expansion for the cards since it has some good ones. Maybe another Gladiator too.

This is what I was intending to do at first, but then checked my stuff and figured out I would only get 1 of everything, no double.
Here is why:
Squadron pack: I think a mix of squadrons type will be stronger than multiple of the same thing. Yeah you want bombers, but having no escort means they might (or not) get an alpha strike, they won't have another shot at a ship after that. You want some anti-escort starfighters too to free up your bombers ASAP.
Gladiator: Many people talk about 1 VSD + 2 Gladiator build, but personally, I prefer the 2 VSD + 1 Gladiator build. I think the role of the Gladiator is more to deny easy objectif points scoring to rebels while the big ships reach it or to simply protect the rear arc of the VSDs. So I think there is no need to have 2 of them.
Assault Frigate: This one I was not sure. But I thought I was prefering to get a Neb with Enhanced Armament + a squadron than a 2nd Frigate. I lose a bit in durability, but I gain in manoeuvrability, power in front arc and I get a protection from enemy squadron.
This might change eventually, but I think 1 of each is very good and I think versality in this game will win over specialisation.
1 Vic
2 Gladiators
2 AF MkIIs
1 of each Fighter pack
1 Neb
1 CR-90
