Not too bad regarding your mishaps with neutral ships and barren patrols...
You need only 2 or 3 nice juicy patrols with 1000+ merit/renown per each (1000= 1 rating point, 100 or less= -1, 100-1000= 0). Go for more valuable targets like tankers and large freighters and in few patrols you'll probably be awarded with brand new type VIIC...
