I was doing a very classic transfer to Mun when I got this.

On one burn, I got a Mun encounter then a Minmus encounter and finally another Mun encounter.

how long does that take?

(the cheaper the dV the longer the flight time)

I don't know what you meant. It's a standard transfer orbit to Mun, but I got 2 other encounter later.

After the burn, the 2 other encounter were even better than node prevision

• T0 + 20min = burn
• T0+ 1 kerbal days = Mun PE
• T0 + 18 kerbal days = Minmus PE
• T0 + 27 kerbal days = Mun PE again

How do you get that many encounter lines? When I do something like that around Jool I only ever get three line-thingys (which makes things very difficult when doing transfers) does anyone know how to get more of these lines? Please help, it would be appreciated.

You need to increase the conic patch limit (up from default 3). Not sure if there's an ingame options menu setting nowadays, but even if there isn't, you can alway edit settings.cfg directly.

In you Settings.CFG

CONIC_PATCH_DRAW_MODE = 3
CONIC_PATCH_LIMIT = 6 (you can even set it higher)

EDIT : ninja'd by @Streetwind, I didn't know about the ingame option.

what does draw mode mean? I upped the patch limit to 7 (my lucky number).

ps: All my love and hope goes out to France, as it's a beautiful country that doesn't deserve to be plagued by terrorisim.

make the world a better place everyone,
