I think the Standout Character thing is a bit... Eh? Only due to the fact that Commendation is something I forget to use often, and even so, I believe that it would make characters that are less known but still very cool fly under the radar. I do like the idea that there is a 'currency' to this ordeal, sort of moving away from as many apps - and the havoc modifier is a VERY interesting, but also very cool choice.
The only issue with the havoc modifier is I think it's a snowball of sorts. We already have people who know how to 'work the game' per se and come out with some very strong builds, spam /havoc and they'll be battlechadding it up with a ton of stuff to spend to pad them out!
I think it may take some more workshopping, but there is something there for sure. Progress points can truly be a nice idea. (Please keep some form of apping though, in the event it can be done without the PP? Saved for intense or interesting story beats, of course.)
