Can't find it but does someone have a list of the abbreviations for each race based on the mega hex counters?

F = Federation
K = Klingon
R = Romulan
G = Gorn
Z = Kizinti
O = Orion
A = Andromoden
H = Hydran
L = Lyran

Are those all right? What are the other races?

Also, does anyone know what counters are included for each race? How many of ship is what I'm wondering.

The only ones I don't see in your list are:
S = Seltorian
W = WYN

There is also:
T = Tholian
I = ISC
V = Vudar
D = LDR

In general, the letter used is the first letter of the empire's name, with the exception of Kzinti (Z) and LDR (D).

Along the same lines...

What are the different ship sizes from largest to smallest?

DN = Dreadnought
BB = Battleship
BC = Battle cruiser
CA = Heavy cruiser
CL = light cruiser
DD = destroyer
FG or FF? = frigate

Others?

I don't own the megahex counters, but the general categories of ships/units by size are

BB
DN
BC
CA
CL
DD
FF
Escorts
Police Ships
Gunboats (not currently in Fed Cmdr)
Fighter
Drones

Some additional types of ships that appear in the game are war cruisers (CW) and war destroyers (DW). The CWs are usually between the CA and CL in size and the DWs are usually larger than DDs.

There are also heavy, light and fast versions of the some of the various hulls (i.e. DNH, DNL, CF, etc).
