@5thHorseman Right, so basically you're saying that the tools necessary are not present within the game and that I'm just gonna have to throw a bunch of parts together and hope for the best. Looks like I have a lot of maths ahead of me then! On the bright side, this should pose a more 'hands-on' challenge than KSP.
@5thHorseman So there's no way of pre-planning your flight without just chucking test masses into space? That seems odd, but thanks for the assistance. I guess we have to do this the hard way.
@Jetspeed1001 I understand that, but I want to be sure of having enough fuel to complete the maneuver. For that, I need to know the DeltaV requirements to get to my target body and the amount my rocket is capable of producing. I can calculate these values but I need at least something to go on. Right now I'm not sure how much of this information is available.
