Ahh, you got rid of the moons! Which is very understandable. Shape the setting the way you want it to go. And its a very elegant fix. It has the side effect of making Jupiter's moons possible but expensive to visit.

I didn't follow the fast transfer orbits section. is a acceleration or is it the average of perapsis and apoasis again? and is 'v' sub 'a' half of the additional delta-v you're spending?
