Here's a fun scenario all set up and ready to be flown. It's similar to the Voyager 2 but with slight differences. It doesn't fly past Uranus but does Jupiter Saturn and Neptune. It has a far weaker initial eject because instead of going directly to Jupiter from Earth, it goes inward to Venus for two slings of Venus then Earth so it's a lot like Cassini in the wind-up except no deep space maneuver like Cassini had. The mission elapsed time as far as launch to Neptune, is about the same as Voyager 2 but does it even though it spends some time playing around in the inner planets. After passing Neptune it can have nearly 70% more speed leaving the solar system than Voyager 2 and will eventually pass Voyager 2.
Code:
BEGIN_DESC
An October 2013 launch that does a fairly mild eject to Venus then slings back to Venus, then Earth, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune.
