The way renown works in the game is truly a mystery.
I can remember early careers where I got stuff even though it looked like I didn't have enough renown to have earned it according to the values in the basic.cfg... even though people told me where to look to see my "total" renown, that number still didn't match or exceed what appeared to be the required number. Nothing I could find matched or exceeded it, so I never could figure out how it was happening. Then there would be times where it looked like I
should be getting something, but I wasn't.
And some things appear to be doled out based not on total renown to date, but on how much of a "step up" you made on the most recent patrol. Or maybe some combination of the two. There may be factors involved that are not part of the basic.cfg or any of the other files we're able to tinker with. That may be more the case with medals and awards, though. I've done a lot of edits to the values for medals, promotions, and the like, but I haven't played enough with them to see how it all pans out and whether or not it will work exactly like I think it will.
In the long run all you can do is tinker and see what happens.
