You may want to look at how we did the Ulysses probe, by using Jupiter as a gravitational slingshot at about 80° relative to the solar plane of rotation, or the Solar Orbiter probe that is set to use The Sun as its gravitation slingshot when it reaches perigee. Thereby using the least amount of fuel possible, and turbocharging the eventual later deployment of solar sails.

    Oh sorry about the plural. A little higher than usual and projecting I guess, or a typo or something.
    
    That is a good tip. I’m mostly just fucking around with the tech tree and trying to play the game as intended non-sandbox.
