The amount of renown that you get for not skipping to your base depends on how high your realism % is. At 100% realism, you get (I think) around 100 or 200 renown points - not a lot if you are playing at 1x. You have to be (again, not entirely sure) 20-30 km from your base when you quit to qualify for this renown. You will know because in the quit screen it will say "Dock at XXXX" where XXXX is the name of your home base. If it just says "End Mission", you won't get the renown, you are too far away.
