Unit kills not increasing Rep?

With a new Empire, I had moved my Emporer into a larger vehicle, and successfully defeated 8 enemy jeeps (newbie jeeps, yes).
His Reputation is still -.04, and he has not received any Combat checks.
Is this expected?

Killing newbie jeeps will give a tiny amount of rep at best. He would have received checks, but I guess not enough to skill down

could be that its ok.
Rep award comes in the terms of 2 things: The unit killed and the reputation of the killed unit.
not sure how much rep you willl receive forkilling a jeep, but would bet itll be near "0", if the enemy pilot had no rep (or even negative) you wouldn't get any rep from there either, so maybe its ok.
talking about the checks: Old "overal war skill checks" are no more so you will get nothing from winning a war or a raid (at least not in check terms). Units used to get checks when killing other units, not sure if thats in place now but even then those checks depended on your/his Bv ratio, sokilling jeeps with a heavy vehicle will award nothing, nowadays youll get awarded some kind of check each time your units open fire, you should at least get that, but my experience with emperors is that they tend to skill down really really slow. If any.
Hopes this clarifies things for you.

Well, when I meant larger vehicle, I meant larger than a 5-ton jeep.
I had put the pilot into a Guardian (MkII); Attacked two empires and destroyed 8 jeeps total with the same unit. In either engagement, the tonnage was the same, and all jeeps were rep 0.00.
In the end, my units' rep is the same... SO, I could only assume that I should use a Savannah Master on my next test.

no, that wont work either.
For the rep earned your unit doesnt mather, it only mathers the enemy unit and the enemy rep.
For the skill checks for killing an enemy units it does mather, (If skill checks are still awarded forkilling units), then the ratio "yourBv"/"enemyBV" enters into acount.

I've *finally* just seen an increase just now...
I had attacked another noob, whom defended with 4 noob jeeps and an Urbanmech (rep +.04).
Destroyed all (poor Urbanmechs really get the short-end of the stick  ), and his rep increased to +1.44.
Though, no skill-checks were received.
** Edit -- How is salvaging supposed to work? The Urbanmech was CT'd out, but the AC/10 was undamaged. The persons' main zone was NOT taken... does the salvage remain there / his?

When a mech is salvaged it stays in the zone it was destroyed in. If you do not take the zone in war, then yes they get to keep it. It will show as !! in the zone, even though you may own it, as well under Armory/Mechs it will say you have salvage.

you can move your salvage by selling it to yourself. the active zone you are in is where it will be moved. l8rs DABOSS

You have a 50% chance of salvaging a mech if its CT is destroyed or so I heard. It will appear as a double kill (unit killed 2 times in a row) but if you have other units shooting at it and kill it again, it is gone. Death by other means like headcap, explosion, engine crit, will not yield salvage.

I didn't win the zone, and checking in any of my zone's Armory->Mechs, I have none... Though that's the only location I could imagine it would be. SO, if that is correct, then no, I have no tamales.
Thank you for helping!

i have not confirmed any of this, but ive been told that second listing of the mech being killed in that same round of attacks is what destroys the previously salvaged mech.
the first listing of it destroyed is when it salvaged, the second listing of it getting destroyed is when the salvage was then destroyed
again i have not confirmed any of this, but that is what some players have stated based on their experiences

soon as another unit hits the target after its been salvaged say by by to the mech, salvage destroyed! . still gotta take the zone after you salvaged the unit and I believe CT destruction gives a 20% chance of salvage and headshot a 10%
