Grand Tour dV Requirement?

[Splode]

Hey everyone!

I was planning a mission to Gilly, when I realised the transfer craft I'd built had 10km/s of dV, which is what, 5 times what it needs?

This got me thinking about how much higher I could aim, and I realised I shouldn't be too far off a Grand-Tour capable space craft.

How much dV will I need, and what's the most sensible way to go about it? IE where do I go first? Up to Eeloo or down to Moho?

I did a pseudo-GT in an SSTO Spaceplane which only had 3300 m/s dV when fully refueled. Even visited and landed on Eelloo with the help of a docket fuel tank. It didn't even have an LT-N.

You probably want to look over the dV map and find the single largest burn you need, and where you can be bothered sending fuel tankers to.

Re-fuelling in the middle of the Grand Tour would partially defeat the purpose!

Doing a grand tour without refueling requires a fairly ridiculously sized ship.
