I confess I totally didn't remember precisely what fudge/fate's ladder was at the time due to lots of sleep deprivation and plenty of other things but as you can see it more or less fits well (as fudge and fate are made to be extended and mixed with other things pretty much at will, so moving to 5/-5 isn't too hard though you might need some compensation with the dice.) I'm actually a huge fan of the two systems as well as PDQ and I tend to run a lot of games with the three combined into one lovely monstrousity.

I like the concept. Looks like it will probably feel differently than some fantasy settings because of the high level of academia mentioned. Very nice start. I like the concept.
