we can see how that turned out 
The amount of rep you get is determined by the difference between your Rank with the faction and the Rank of your ship.
If you are flying a Rank 6 ship and have Rank 10 in the faction, you will not get much reputation. But if you switch to a Rank 10 ship you will be getting lots of reputation.
