My point was if you were in position of the nation which lacked the numerical advantage and what you mentioned and all the space ships of a major hive turned up on your door step, not your current nation specifically. Its a bit disingenuous to replace the values of an argument simply to render that argument null, especially when its stated that these values are set for this argument.

You never really set any concrete values for the argument, unless you're talking about the thick armor/no shield bit that was said a while ago. But I've already addressed that. I 'changed' them because I interpreted your query as you exclusively asking me of my own factions' likely response to beam weapons and energy shields.
