How will Starship do interplanetary probe missions? Will it do an injection burn, release the payload then cancel out the burn and come back? Or just put up a kick stage for the interplanetary injection burn? Like Europa clipper... can StarShip do it?

Massive delta velocity slam from highly elliptical Earth orbit using a fully retanked, but lightened up Starship with no heat shield or fins/legs. Best choice for the impatient. Ion engines are too slow.
