Yes, I think you're starting to catch my vision a bit. Wonderful! By expanding the orbits of the planets around their stars sufficiently (as well as the size of the planets, hopefully - as the Lua Tools do), we could see them out on the scale of the local star cluster which would reveal the relative...

Ok. Thanks for showing me a bit of how this might look. I'm not as yet sure how that would help visualise the orbits of planets of neighbouring star systems relative to each other. It seems to be just another way to highlight the planets (beyond, having their names visible which might disappear toge...

Sorry if this isn't the place to do it (I couldn't find a better option), but I have a feature request. Would it be possible to have a 'puff factor' multiplier (each with an associated slider in the view options) for: - star size (slider range: 1x - ~500x) - planet size (slider range: 1x - ~10000x) ...
