Quick question: has anyone gotten gold on this? Specifically, doing the mission using under 7.45 m/s.

This mission isn't actually that hard. To go under the devs DeltaV record, burn at apoapsis to get close enough to see a join - ideally, your orbit should just about touch the target in the targets frame of reference.
Then recall the third tutorial message - you don't need to click on the join icon to join - you can click the trajectory just ahead of the join icon. Try for as far away as you can and still get a join, and you should net the smallest possible burn.

To go under the devs DeltaV record, burn at apoapsis Apo is 2 days away, no gold for you. 7.45m/s has to be an error. |

It is do-able because of a bug (developer knows and plans to fix it and redo the target) it is achievable though (I got ~5km/s used with this video guide)

Ah the source of my confusion, I had it in mind I was supposed to achieve both targets in the same mission. i.e: less than a day && < 7.45m/s. That makes life a million times easier even if it is broken.

Yeah. Broken.
I just beat my own records (using the broken join, of course):
4.97 m/s deltaV.
11 hours 38 minutes time (rendezvous at about (in excess of?) 200 m/s).
Until it's patched, I'm thinking looney toones magnetic grappling hook and fishing line.
