Question is - how many vasudans left Vasuda Prime before the Lucifer came? How many survived the bombardment? How many left the cities? How much is "most" of the transports? 6/10? 8/10?
Thing is questions like that don't help your case. You're the one trying to claim that the GTVA must be more powerful because of it's larger population. If you're pointing out that the data on which the population of the GTVA is based on is shaky than that makes your entire chain of logic suspect too.
That's my take on what would most likely happen. I don't recall claiming that that statement was 100% correct, that it can't possibly be another outcome. My 2most probable" and your "most probable" don't even have to be the same.
I never said that Sol starting a war is the most probable outcome. I simply said that it's a possible one. You repeatedly stated that the chance was very small, and it would be a certain defeat for Sol if it did happen and that the GTVA
IS more powerful. In fact the last 3-4 pages of your posts have been little more than you claiming that it's more powerful for increasingly spurious reasons.
That's where you're making massive assumptions and stacking all the variables your way blind to the fact that they could just as easily stack in the other direction.
You've repeatedly asserted that the GTVA has a larger population than Sol based on no evidence whatsoever. You've repeatedly asserted it must have a better economy and resource exploitation again on no evidence. You're not giving a fair and balanced view no matter how hard you want to claim that you are.
I've repeatedly stated that I don't think that the GTVA and Sol going to war is the only possible or even most likely outcome. So why the hell you thought that you needed to disagree with me if you really think that Sol going to war is a distinct possibility is a complete mystery to me.
To state it simply.
1) I don't think Sol going to war with the GTVA is the most likely possibility
2) I do however think it is a reasonable one and if someone wants to make a campaign based on that I'm not going to argue with them or say it's not possible, unlikely or suicidal.
3) Sol's power coming out of its exile is going to be dependent on the degree of economic damage it suffered after the node was sealed as well as a variety of other factors that could see Sol coming out more powerful than the entire GTVA, simply as a powerful system or as a economic ruin requiring the GTVAs help to rebuild. Which one is most likely is a matter of how you set up a bunch of assumptions and it's rather foolish to try to say one is more certain that than another. Even the game states that GTVA academics couldn't decide which one is more likely and they'd have more data to base that assumption on than we ever will.
