Personally I'd like at least 2 volumes before any definitive battles. Unless they double or triple the volume's episode numbers or running times, they've been going too fast.

As for minor skirmishes, or probing attacks, I could see those happening fairly early to remind the audience of Atlas' military might, and to establish what kind of defenses they have beyond the much too pretty shield system and the moronically idling capital ships. They also can set the atmosphere and mood, as both a writing tool, and a deliberate attempt by Salem to build panic as well as scout key positions.
