I use Universe Sandbox 2 in VR on steam and have a request: it would be incredible to have a view option that overlays a mesh grid (perhaps include options for both a 2d and 3d iteration) that illustrates space time relative to gravity, similar to the examples below:

Nice idea, but might impact performance.

Yes it almost certainly will. It could be a view option like trails and orbits that the user could enable/disable, but also perhaps there could be an option to scale the complexity of the grid from lots of lines to just a few to minimize any performance hits. That way every user, can find the appropriate grid complexity level for their hardware setups.

See attached for an example, forgive my poor MS Paint skills.  :P
