I love getting a good intercept

Sending an ISRU to Vall because AGAIN I have completely underestimated the fuel it takes to get to Laythe and back.

I think I saved about 1000 D/V with this slingshot maneuver.

This save I have decided not to use MechJeb, only Engineering Redux (I consider the ability to calculate D/V absolutely essential to playing the game). I have MJ installed, but only because some of my old craft from other saves have MJ modules on them and I can't load them unless it's installed.

I actually hardly ever used maneuver nodes before, but now that I understand them better, they're a lot of fun to play with.

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what Tylo was intended for, save for the challenge of landing on it.

I know that feel:

(Second time I've used that image in as many days. ) If you are trying to kick the MechJeb habit I'd suggest trying PreciseNode for editing nodes, it's really handy.

This album shows deep space maneuvers for five ships in a flotilla headed to Jool.  The ships all have a Jool encounter which brings them close to tangential with Tylo's orbit.  Each maneuver is quite small (the largest is 10.33 m/s) and all result in Tylo gravity assisted captures into Jool orbit (the red orbits).

Happy landings!
