Contrary to what most players think, the points you get for each kill do not depend on the rank itself, BUT to the ratio of your victim's score (=the player you killed) in comparison to the current Metalknight's score on that server. Hence why the points you are awarded when killing certain ranks fluctuates! See also the MK Ranking System.
The formula for calculating this is:For completeness, I will also add the way by which you calculate the bonus points.
