What is the reputation formula?
Solution 1:
There wasn't an expontial descrease in awarded Reputation... at least not as such... the reputation awarded seems to be awarded as the value given on the contract.
I did some testing on it a while ago... around 0.8 and this all may have changed considerably since then but at that time...
Reputation of 1% to 30% was awarded at ~ 10 points for each % point
Reputation of 31% to 60% was awarded at ~ 20 points for each % point
Reputation of 61% to 80% was awarded at ~ 50 points for each % point
Reputation of 80% to 95% was awarded at ~ 200 points for each % point
Reputation of 95% to 100% was awarded at ~ 500 points for each % point
These are rough figures as i only did missions and checked how much the reputation changed, but the points awarded never came in at less than was stated so it didn't decrease, but the cost to increase from 99% rep to 100& was hugely more than from 1% to 2%
If anyone comes up with the exact numbers i'd be happy to hear them but i've never actually seen a mission give me less reputation then what is stated in the contract.
If they have changed it to a 1000 max cap then all the above may end up being worthless... if so apologies
