Phoenix, I can grab as much raw data as you need. I have probes in the Duna and Jool system, so I can grab a bunch for you.

What mods did you use for those engines? Some type of ion engine?

Thank you! Now the transfer operation works beautifully. Got to Duna without nearly as many hassles as before.

Howdy! I have a map here for Gilly! Attached is a link to the csv file as well! Cheers! http://www./view/?vm3wevqegsbdr0a [ATTACH=CONFIG]33526[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]33527[/ATTACH]

Well, I spent hours yesterday trying to get there, even entering debug and giving myself infinite fuel in a futile attempt to get there. I have no idea what I am doing. No matter how much I try, I just can't get an encounter. At this point, I don't even care about efficiency-I just want to get there. Edit: NEVER MIND. I can't read. I kept thinking 270 degree heading meant 270 degree inclination, so I was kinda going the wrong way. Making a map of Gilly as I type.

felixar90-I was never good at trig....Thanks for pointing it out. I've done more math with this game then i have in the last year.

I'm actually watching your video right now. Stross IV? I'm basically going to copy exactly what you do....even the failures.

Okay, okay, I'm not having much luck at all. 270 degree orbit. Check. The calculator gave me a phase angle of -54.13, so I waited until the MechJeb phase angle thingie said -54.13. Then I waited until I got an ejection angle of 152.99 degres retrograde, which is 27.01 degrees prograde? (Using the mechjeb angle to prograde under orbital information) The second it reached 27.01, I kicked my engine to full throttle, burning until I got to 3061 m/s-but my orbit was not even close to Eve-with an apogee above Kerbin orbit. I tried burning to correct, but I just ended up nowhere. I can get to Duna fine. Probably Jool too (havent tried, but seems the same as Duna except way more thrust) but I just cannot get to Moho or Eve for the life of me. I'll go try watching some more Youtube videos. Or just sulk at my Ike base.

All right, will try the 270 turn.

I know I'm probably doing it wrong, but I for the life of me cannot figure out the most efficient way to get to Eve. I try using the Interactive Illustrated Calculator, but I just end up in a higher orbit. Right now I'm forced to orbit around Kerbol, then waste huge amounts of fuel lowering the orbit to intersect with Eve. Same goes for Duna as well, but that's not as hard.

Autoland works fine on Ike-I've landed almost a dozen times using it with no issues. Duna is an issue. I find that the easiest way is to get the autoland to take you down to say, 45000 kilometers, then deactivate, burn until your speed is about 300 m/s, then re-engage. Or just use chutes+burn.

I'm loving .17, but one can always hope for more in .18! -I would like to be able to swap out command modules and the like in the VAB after I finish a rocket. Makes things easier. -Docking is great and all, but I would be content with a simple Gemini style docking system. One that lets you rendezvous in orbit, link up, and EVA crew transfer-but I don't mind if it's not warp capable yet. Just plain and simple rendezvous and docking that works. -I don't want any new planets yet, but I would love to see the existing planets fleshed out. Maybe put some cities on Kerbal (And have them light up at night! It would be so cool to look at the surface of Kerbin speckled with the lights of Kerbmanity). Valleys on Duna. Little islands on Eve and Laythe. Maybe even methane gas vents on Minmus and the like. -Something to do when you get to the planets. Like, collect scientific data. -Improved EVA. I really wish there could be a little action to stick a flag in the ground, or the ability to have Kerbals set up scientific packages on a planet. Or possibly even to make adjustments on a ship in orbit. For example, you could launch a ship with a certain liquid fuel engine on the orbit stage, but Kerbals could get out of the ship and swap the engine with say, a nuclear engine stored onboard (that would count for part of the weight). -Improved IVA. It would be so much fun to see Jeb float around and eat space food. -Data read-outs similar to those given by Mechjeb. -Some kind of dev supported water landing gear or whatnot. Tosh has a great mod, but with Eve and Lathye, water is now a bigger part of the game. Maybe make it some sort of airbag even(which would be great for Duna Landings as well)

I'm fine with a Warp Drive feature. I'd rather get there slowly but accurately.....just my two cents.

I just got done mapping Ike as well, from an altitude of 75 kilometers. It's a little bit more complete than the previous Ike map. I'm moving on to map Gilly and Eve next.

You need to transfer to Kerbol orbit first. Once there, you can transfer to planets, and also within planet systems.
