I think the challenge here is the docking side of things with ion engines, so I'm assuming the items you want to dock are already in orbit before the timer starts? Also the OP should be posting his or hers best result.

I've recommended this game to someone with a degree in Rocketry, and his reply was that he already plays it. nuff said.

I rarely reuse a launch platform, the exception was when I have different modules for the same mission to get into LKO.

.... nope, I have a calculator in my start menu, much easier.

Noticed that to, bit of a coincidence.

I've rather enjoyed my play through the career mode, made me come up with some inventive designs etc and has even made what would have been mundane things in sandbox such as sending a probe to Duna a huge achievement. In sandbox I would have just send a manned mission straight to the red planet, but because you want to make sure you can bring back your kerbal, I first sent a probe out with the relevant scientific equipment and tested what will be my interplanetary prime mover for the manned mission, I know I could have done this in sandbox, but having limited parts available gives it that extra something.

I've often been tempted to build two large ships and put them in opposite orbits, just to see what would happen, I'd imagine it would be an excellent technical feat to get them to connect at a closing speed of over 4200m/s
