Question Is there a way to generate perspective that translates well to 2d? I like the support for VR etc, but sometimes it'd be nice to be able to have depth perception on a 2d screen. Image is of 1 approach

The universe map looks a bit like what you have shown. Do you mean something like that?

how do you get the chart to show? I can't find a setting for it. I'm familiar with universe map otherwise.

When in game select any random object and click the icon shown with a red arrow in my screenshot. Zoom out (or in) until you see the other objects surrounding it. It has the same objects and background simulation as the regular game, it just shows it in map form. You should see a distance slider to the right hand side and some toggles (e.g. if procedural objects are visible)

not sure where the problem is, since all i did was open universe map and take a screenshot. Did that answer your question?

it seems like it's the difference between exploration mode on vs off. Exploration mode seems to hide the grid. Thanks for the help!
