If you’re docking in a restricted planet and then sell the auto use, you get burned to death, struck by lightning and explode or get sucked into the wormhole and never return. After a while, you “respawn in another location” with a price is 1 extra life.
I mean that the medals awarded for challenges (daily, weekly, space race, ironman) all begin with “awarded for first place…” . So there’s no reason to make Ironman an exception.
I tested it with the Gatling too. The ship I used is a Legendary H&C, but probably even the Müller can fit in there and dodge the eggs/laser beam without doing nothing.
I tested it in CI5 too, and it’s possible there as well. I assume you forgot to fix it from there
