Hey. Novice kerbonaut here. I've been meaning to try my hand at efficient interplanetary travel for a while, and look on in awe as people continue to post their crazy trajectories to Eeloo and others. So I'm looking to practice interplanetary gravity assists , to get a better instinctive feel for planning future missions. Can anyone post some flight paths that would enable me to learn? For example: A braking gravity assist at Duna to get to Eve OR using an Eve gravity assist to change inclination to match Dres or Jool to drop back down to Duna. A series that would acclimate me to understanding what assist I should use to get where i want. Right now, I have a basic idea of how gravity assists work, but know nothing about planning them for efficient transfers. Any help is appreciated. P.S. I know this is a tall order, and my phrasing of the question may not be entirely accurate. In which case I'd be glad to clarify what I mean.
