Heres how I do interplanetary in Vanilla career.
Lets say I'm going to Eve.
1. Get into LKO
2. Just barely escape Kerbin
3. Circularize my orbit around Kerbol.
4. Match Eves inclination.
5. do a A Hohmann Transfer to Eve.
I do it this way because of KSPs interface. When I'm orbiting around Kerbol, and not Kerbin, I can setup a maneuver node with a burn that will give me a perfect Hohmann transfer just kissing Eves orbit, and then slide the node back and forth around my orbit around Kerbol in order to get the best phase.
I find that getting the phase right makes a huge difference in efficiency (I will have much less relative velocity to my target when I arrive) but because of the games interface I cant get the phase perfect from orbit around Kerbin.
If I was in orbit around Kerbin,I can only change the phase by waiting, so I cant go backwards, also the interface gets fiddly (ie. when you pass a node you've setup it goes dead) and the process is awkward. ie. wait - setup node, check if its ok, if not wait some more - repeat.
Is there a better way?
