Really need help with warp drive navigation!

[NeverEnoughFuel!!]

Well I have a situation where Duna is "behind" me and I want to warp drive there in order to fulfill some contracts... i tried numerous things but I always end up with thousands of needed delta V to perform capture... I saw some "explanations" and "tutorials" but it appears to me that without McJeb it's impossible to eye-ball angles and vectors... I know for the "parallel" planets rule... really frustrating... Does this mean I have to wait for planetary alignments despite, warp drive, fusion power, vista engines with 35+K delta V? Again really really frustrating...

Transfer windows = planetary alignment = efficient (lower dV) Hohmann transfer.

You can go any time or transfer faster but it will always need more dV.  That's the whole point.  Funny engines might get you 'there' faster or whatever but they'll still need to provide the acceleration somehow.  If you don't want to use MJ [insert]you might like to[/insert] try Precise Node.

A suggestion, not an instruction ^^

Wouldn't transfer windows be the worst time to use the warp drive?

For a duna transfer behind I think the best time to warp would be when your prograde at kerbal is parallel but opposite with duna's prograde however you really need to do some vector math to figure it out.

Really if you have the warp dive isn't 1000's of dv trivial?

Finally... if somebody wants to learn... the point is do you jump out of warp before or after the sun's periapsis... still practicing... but here is the tutorial
