Of what use is Reputation in the career Mode of the game?

[Lucky Spacer]

Also, does reputation go down over time? I have completed contracts that show over a thousand reputation but I still only have 693 rep. I also thought I read that reputation is used to get better contract offers.

Besides you'll game over with very low rep in 1.0 (confirmed)

The most important thing is that it gives you more difficult and profitable contracts. For example with low reputation you tend to get satellite contracts for equatorial orbits around kerbin and with high reputation you get contracts for kolnya orbits around kerbin or polar orbits around the mun and that sort of thing. What I found out in career mode is that turning your reputation into funds through strategies isn't worth it because if you keep your reputation high you can earn a lot more money with the more difficult contracts.

And if contracts are getting too difficult for you just burn it away through the strategies and you'll get lots of easier contracts again.

Very interesting indeed.

Now could we have that statement in English please, so that I can have some notion of what you are actually saying?

One of the devs said that running out of rep would result in losing the game (e.g can't continue any further, I believe)

You will get an email from the President: "You suck at this job. Get out!" Game over
