Excellent selection of tools here.

I will note that Abrit’s Transfer Calculator gave me questionable results last night trying to return from Jool. From a medium Jool orbit (circular, between the orbits of Laythe and Vall), the tool suggested a desired phase angle of -409 degrees. LOLwhut? It’s unclear if that SHUOLD be -49 degrees (subtracting 360 from the absolute value of the phase angle displayed) or some other mathematical error. I have added an issue to the author’s GitHub repo so hopefully it will get addressed. 

EDIT: Mod author already responded to my GitHub issue post. For now, he said to add 360 to any result until you get an angle of greater than -180 degrees. So in my example above, adding 360 to -409 gives me a desired phase angle of -49 degrees. This comports nicely with the result from the long-standing web-based calculator https://ksp.olex.biz, which gave me -48.65 degrees. Close enough! He will have an update out soon.

@RayneCloud the link you have for "Sticky Orbit Markers" has been deprecated and that mod is now included in 'Community Fixes for KSP 2' - https://spacedock.info/mod/3301/Community Fixes. Just a friendly FYI.

Updated with Community Fixes as suggested by @LeroyJenkins

ABrit has updated his Transfer Calculator to correct the incorrect return angle arithmetic, added a Close control widget to the UI, and a couple other things. I haven't had the chance to test the new version though.
