Well, thats the thing with charts... theres always another way to look at it and/or more details to add (of course you can also add too much detail).

But I do have to say the graphics on both these charts are slick. My refrence chart I just posted is nowhere near this graphical. I guess I dont have the artists touch.... unless you take a look at the formulas... dems is things of beauty.

I hope you dont mind, but I did add these charts to my refrence chart. I credited each of you next to them.

Hey Volt, you should make support cruisers counter heavy cruisers as well.

Im probably wrong, but that doesnt seem right. I think if you were to go into more detail, faction specific counters would be what you want

Very cool this. Thanks!

Invincible?not if u can redirect their targets ;

1.a 50%-50% fighter bomber combo vs a 100% fighter in this case >>> sure thing the 100% fighter will eat the bait while the 50 % fighter will munch em

2.by default LRF targets flaks first making some heavies to punch first

sure thing all u need is a sacrificial goat to win these kinda fleet

Graphic representation of ship counters has been done a couple of times before.  (Another good post on this topic).  I find the above confusing.  I prefer my simple crude graphic representation:

Basically it goes:

              LRF > LF > Carriers (fighters) > LRF again.    Thats the basic triangle.  The end wraps around to the start.

Its pretty obvious that LRFs are good against LFs (Long Range Frigates: Javelis LRMs, Illums, Assailants vs. Light Frigates: Cobalts, Disciples, Skirmishers).  LF counter Carriers best, and fighters counter LRF. 

The following is a more complex expansion:

                                                             >  LRF
                           >    Flak     > (fighters) > Scouts
Scouts > LRF > LF > Carriers           | 
                           >  Support          v   
                                              (bombers) > HC's
                                                              > Structures (& SBs)
                                                              > Cap Ships

Scouts are good against LRFs.  LRFs good at LFs.  LFs are good against Flak, Carriers and all of the higher tech Support (repair/disable) ships.  Carrier fighters are good against LRF and Scouts, as well as Bombers.  Carrier bombers excel at HC (Heavy Cruisers), planet Structures and Capital ships.  HCs, SBs and Cap Ships are all good against all, and wrap back around to front. 

Or, an even more complete version:

           >                                                  >  Constructor
           >                                                  >  Colony
Scouts  >                                                  >  Siege         > Planet
           >                                                  >  Torpedo     > Structures & SBs
           >                                                  >  LRF
                               >  Flak     > (fighters) > Scouts   (<) LF & Flak
Scouts  >  LRF  >  LF > Carriers     /     | 
                               >  Support    \     v   
                                               (bombers) > HCs          > All
               LRF (>)                                      > Cap Ships  > All  (LRF less)
                                             >                 >  Star Bases > All  
Scouts  >                  Torpedo  >                 >  Structures
                                              >                 >  Turrets       > LF
Scouts  >  Mines   > All?

And finally, the most recent Updated spreadsheet by SithLordAJ:  or this

@Sagewon: I have seen ones like that, but I had not seen one that was a graphic rather than a chart (I wasn't counting your ASCII graphic)

Okay, I've updated the bar chart (hopefully for the last time). You can see it in the previous message, or full size here.
