Bands mark what a burn costs the crew, not the drive. Above roughly 5g the couches are carrying people who would not stay conscious without them. The hardest single burn cost 1.2x what every routine cycle in the log spent combined.

One column per cycle, showing what is left rather than what was used. The axis does not start at zero: the budget never comes close to empty, so a zero-based chart would flatten the whole series into a band across the top and hide the thing worth seeing. Hovering a column breaks the cycle into what came in from resupply and what went out on burns.

Bars are hours under thrust on the left axis; the line is mean g on its own axis to the right. The two need separate scales because a hard burn is a handful of g against tens of hours, and sharing an axis would pin the line flat to the floor. A tall bar with a low line is a long gentle transit; a short bar with a high line is somebody in a hurry.

One stem per burning cycle, positioned by the hardest acceleration held. The axis is logarithmic because station-keeping runs a fifth of a g and a hard burn runs nine — on a linear axis the routine cycles crush into the baseline and the whole chart becomes two marks and a lot of nothing. Head size is delta-v spent, so a long grinding burn reads heavy even where its peak was not the highest. The shaded band above five g is the region a body cannot hold without the juice.

A stem plot rather than a bar chart, because nearly every cycle is a flat zero. Read the spacing first and the counts second: the long gaps between engagements are the point. The cycles that fired get a full stem with a head sized by the number of slugs; the quiet cycles get a hairline tick along the baseline so the silence is visible rather than blank. Hovering a quiet cycle says HELD, which is the honest reading of a cycle where the gun stayed cold.

Bars are rounds fired on a square-root axis, because quiet cycles spend tens of rounds and engagements spend thousands and a linear axis would leave every routine cycle as an invisible sliver. The line is confirmed intercepts on its own axis to the right. The subtitle carries the exchange rate outright, since the two series genuinely cannot share a scale.

A step chart, not a trend line. A torpedo count holds perfectly flat across quiet cycles and drops the instant one launches, so a smoothed curve would imply torpedoes leaking away between engagements. The axis is pinned to the full load rather than fitted to the data, so a half-empty rack looks half empty. Marked dots are the only cycles where anything happened: launches step the line down, resupply lifts it back.
