I hope these scenarios aren't a bother but maybe I'm bored and can't stop this incessant TransX clicking. Anyway here's another scenario a bit related to the one I uploaded yesterday(2010_EVEEJ). This one concentrates on minimizing the arrival speed at Jupiter. It starts ready for a April 5th 2010 launch, heading 088. You do a fairly weak push to Venus, then sling back to sling Earth twice and the second Earth sling results in a Hohmann transfer to Jupiter. Being so slow arriving at Jupiter it can't do the sling to Saturn but oddly enough it is about perfect for another Hohmann sling but this time to Neptune. DeltaV needs are minimal but the transfers are slow, 7+ years for the 3 slings to Jupiter and additional 33 years to go from Jupiter to Neptune.
Edit: Flight report: From low Earth orbit, the DeltaV needs turned out to be 6,370 m/s for the entire trip to a soft landing on Nereid the outer moon of Neptune. Using the other scenario, "2010_EVEEJ" the DeltaV use was far greater, being 10,420 m/s.

Code:
BEGIN_DESC
All set for an April 5th 2010 launch to
sling Venus, Earth, Earth then Hohman
transfer to Jupiter with minimal
encounter speed. Option is then to
either insert at Jupiter or sling to
another Hohman transfer for slow
encounter speed at Neptune.
