Went to a local games store that I had never been to before and saw Firestorm. It piqued my interest and so I have been looking into it. So far I am interested in the Alliance factions, primarily the Terrans and Sorylians.

What are recommendations for starting a fleet for either faction? It looks like the game store is well stocked for the game and has a weekly event for the game at the store.

Start with the contents of a patrol fleet and work your way up. A second purchase should always be more frigates or corvettes.
