You might as well change the elements that are Star Trek (Ship-Design (which is already butchered), Names of groups and species and history) and the show would barely change. It might be more fun that way honestly...
There is a garbage opinion going around, that its wrong to be mad at discovery for changing the lore and for not being constraint by pre-established stories and facts of the franchise, which is the reason i think less to nothing of the cinematic tastes of YouTubers like Renegade Cut, because if you don't care to respect the lore, the universe and established "Rules" at all... why the FUCK do you still make it a franchise series? Discovery might be considered entertaining as a random-sci-fi show but i guess then nobody would watch the great Michael-Burnham-Bonanza or at least fewer people would if it didn't have the branding.
I find the series repulsive in every aspect that tries to tie itself to Star Trek without actually giving a hoot about it. The fact that the badge on that one dude in Season 3, that was wearing an early TNG-Uniform had to be fixed in post still baffles me and is one of the best examples on how they dont give a damn and instead just want to toot their own horns infront of a larger audience, while forcing their ideas into the canon. The wet dream of every sweaty fanfiction writer coming true...
...and yet logic indicates... that the Romulans would not cease to use singularity cores and instead focus on gaining more of their energy out of that ...endless power source, unless they lost their collective minds when joining the Vulcans... which is not unlikely knowing Discovery - granted - but either way; Why would you switch from a power source that is so powerful to one that is far more limited as it has to be mined and also used by every single other power in the universe besides you?
Its just not very feasable to assume that in my eyes. So you fighting back on the matter is equaly based on speculation and the more unlikely scenario. From all we know, the Romulans would be stupid to not focus on using nothing but the singularity core.
