The unexpected observations of x-ray emission from comets first noted in 1996 and the proposal by Cravens that charge transfer between heavy solar wind ions and cometary neutrals as the responsible mechanism has helped to reinvigorate atomic collision research. Unfortunately, due to the combination of collision energy (0.2-2 keV/u), primary targets (H2O, CO2, and CO), dominant projectile initial charge (q=4-14), and multitude of solar wind elements (C, N, O, Ne, Mg, Si, S, Fe, etc.), standard theoretical approaches have been found to be of limited utility. The short-comings of current theoretical methods will be discussed and a strategy to obtain accurate state-selective cross section estimates, based on a mix of explicit theoretical computations, approximate calculations, analytical scaling laws, and experimental constraints, will be presented.
