Well, probably. I don't see anything out of line, at least. Steady pay and not needing to use it for a house/food/etc would give her Resources 3ish and being an elite military officer in wartime probably about the same Reputation. Raising her Psyche a point or two might be a good idea also - I think the ability to withstand emotional stress is probably quite important for a soldier, even without the factor of empathic attacks.
Fine tuning with pluses and minuses will need to wait for a completed character generation system, but each one amounts to +1/3 or -1/3 to the Mp value, which is the n in 2^n to convert it to linear measurements, hence the "meta" in Metapoints since the meta key on the old keyboards which used it looked like a carat, and calling them Expo Points becomes confusing with XP. Metapoints also makes it a pun, rather like Skill Value and Skill Bonus do when collapsed to two letter acronyms.
I have a (very large) spreadsheet that covers from -146Mp (1.12e-44, or 11.2 yatterodecillionths, roughly, to get down to Planck time from 4sec at 0Mp) to 100Mp (1.6e30, or 1.6 nonillion) with the calculated values for all the quantifiable measurements I could think of while sleep deprived (which means most forms of energy such as voltage, amperage, temperature, etc. are missing.) I'll copy in just a bit of it, from -2Mp to 15Mp:
-2 0.25
-2+ 0.3
-1- = 0.3
-1 = 0.5
-1+ = 0.6
0- = 0.7
0 = 1
0+ = 1.2
1- = 1.5
1 = 2
1+ = 2.5
2- = 3.1
2 = 4
2+ = 5
3- = 6.3
3 = 8
3+ = 10
4- = 12.6
4 = 16
4+ = 20.1
5- = 25.3
5 = 32
5+ = 40.3
6- = 50.7
6 = 64
6+ = 80.6
7- = 101.5
7 = 128
7+ = 161.2
8- = 203.1
8 = 256
8+ = 322.5
9- = 406.3
9 = 512
9+ = 645
10- = 812.7
10 = 1024
10+ = 1290.1
11- = 1625.4
11 = 2048
11+ = 2580.3
12- = 3250.9
12 = 4096
12+ = 5160.6
13- = 6501.9
13 = 8192
13+ = 10321.2
14- = 13003.9
14 = 16384
14+ = 20642.5
15- = 26007.9
15 = 32768
The linear value is then multiplied by a conversion factor to get actual measurements:
0Mp = 10 feet, 3 meters, 4 seconds, 15 astroseconds, half a breem, $1 (1942), $25 (2014), 25 pounds (as in weight), 3/4 cubic foot, 21,237 cubic centimeters, 11.3 kilograms (yes, I know that disconnects from the cc measurement, it's because an average adult human who weighs and can lift about 200lb and displaces about 3cu. ft. measures 2Mp in each), 16 bytes, or the ability to remember 2 longish words or a 4-digit code with 4sec to memorize it.
Incidentally, the next time someone tells you you've won one million internets, that's 90-Mp, or 10 brontobytes of data storage. Mostly porn.
Edit: One more thing, I totally forgot about the engine revs. THe thing is, 1500 is idling on a modern car, but my understanding is that 500-800rpm was the idle on one from the 40s, and 2500 would be redlining it. The reason to go for a reciprocating design is low-rpm torque anyway, since turbines are much better at high rpm, being generally simpler and not incurring the strain of repeatedly changing direction with every stroke. Plus the idea of a fusion-powered tractor putting away amuses me.
