Hi all

Never played Armada before - what should I get with starter (both parts are mine) to make good game and learn?

Keep in mind that I haven't played Armada at all

First off. Starter set.

For the Rebels add an MC80(Home One) and a Fighter pack.

For the Imperials add an ISD and either an Arquitens, Raider or Gozanti.

This will allow you to put 400 point fleets on the table but you might want to try 300 points for your first 2-3 games. Then it is just a matter of playing 5+ games to learn the system. You can read tactics articles and watch YouTube episodes etc. but just playing & loosing several games is the best way to get good. Later you will have a feel for the game and will have a better idea what style of fleet you wish to use and you can make your next purchases from there. 4-5 Ship fleets, more fighters, Rogues & villains, mega bomber lists and the like are all a possibility.

@zWarhawk has been developing a Rebel 400 point fleet using only those 2 extra packs and the starter set. Take a look...
