It could be that the game is acting as if you were on 100% difficulty, so a 200 renown ship would become a 400 renown ship.
Or maybe theres a hidden variable, like a X1.5 when awarding medals

I've already edited the realism settings so that the game thinks I'm playing at 99% realism even though I'm not. I know I'm getting more renown than I would normally get playing with the realism options I have, which would probably be around 60% if I hadn't fiddled with the relevant files. That's not the issue.
My question is, if the line
MedalScore1=7000;1 class, SCORE
doesn't mean I need a renown of 7000 or more to get the IC 1st Class, then what does the "7000" refer to? If it does refer to renown, then I don't understand how renown works, because I finished a patrol with less than 5000 renown for my career thus far and still got the medal.
I'm assuming that "SCORE" refers to renown and that renown is cumulative - meaning, whatever renown I earn on patrol 2 gets added to what I had after finishing patrol 1, and so on, so that my current total equals what I started my career with plus the amounts earned on each patrol so far. But my current total does not equal the "SCORE" it looks like I should have in order to earn the medals the game keeps giving me.
So either I don't understand how renown works, or those lines in the basic.cfg mean something other than what I think they do. I'd like to know exactly how it all works because getting another grade of IC every time I finish a patrol just doesn't feel right.
