How does the repuation meter work exactly?

[PTNLemay]

I've started taking missions that give 500 - 600 repuation points, but I'm not sure how that relates to the Rep-meter. It almost looks like the green portion of it is 0 to 75, with the blue one going 75 - 100, and beyond that the blue stripes. But that can't be right because I finished two of those multi-hundred point missions and I'm still not in the stripes part of it yet.

Also, this may seem silly but... where do I see the numerical total for my reputation? The meter sort of shows it, but can you check the actual numbers anywhere?

You can seen the exact number in the persistent.sfs file. Just search for reputation.

Like you, I am at a bit of a loss how this compares with the meter in-game.

It shows you your total rep at the end of a mission on the kerbal screen. I have 800 and something but on the meter it shows it around 80. Maybe the meter divides by 10?

Maybe the meter is logarithmic like the VSI and, therefore, almost as useless.

That´s my assumption as well, considering the fact that the stripes on the meter get larger (or rather, the reputation range is divided into subranges ... eaxch with a higher multiplication factor (whereas the numbers within the subrages follow a linear progression) ... for example: Range 1 = Multiplication factor 1 -> 10 stripes, with each stripe represenation a width of 1 (->- range = 1-10) ... Range 2 = Multiplication factor of 2 -> Range goes from 11-30 with each stripe representing a value of 2 ... and so on)

And sometimes in flight it is'nt working at all (shows zero). But maybe it's just a x64 bug

I find the rep meter pretty bizarre. I completed a contract worth nearly 2000 rep and many contracts in the hundreds and my rep seems to be fixed at 971. Whatever I do, it doesn't increase.

I'm not entirely sure how it affects gameplay either. I assume it determines the contracts that are available, but that seems to be it.

I have spent more than one puzzling moment trying to work out that meter - without success.

An, that works. Thanks.

Also good.

Looks like the minimal and maximal values are around -1000 and 1000, and pretty sure it's logarithmic. But not sure which colors correspond to which values.
