Since 2 new shows are going to be released soon 1) being Section 31 2) Pike's continuing journey, it seems like a good start to revamp those aliens from TOS, We have some Andorians, Tellarites, Talosians, Vulcans, Klingons but what about some other TOS races like the Orions, Romulans, Gorn, they could start working on a story board, structuring missions, working on the Commodore Oh's Tal Shiar outfit for the Lobi store, the new warping out effect (which again could be a ZEN option that adds a new feature (an like transporter effect) you navigate the options and change transporter effects and transwarp effect, it is mostly cosmetic and offers people to mycelial jump in any ship they want like a mycelial jump in a elachi ship, i suggest this because out of all the potential content this has NOT been monitized and can offer players a reason to buy this over things like Rep Buyout. Content that already exists in game includes
1) Mycelial transwarp/jumping
2) DSC Klingon transporting
3) TOS Klingon transporting
4) DSC Klingon head options
5) DSC Andorian head options
6) Jem'Hadar transporting
7) (suggesting) Mycelial ground transporting
8) (suggesting) Picard transporting *it is a new style*
9) (suggesting) Lower Deck's transporting *it has a lower swirl effect*
feel free to add suggestions or just hate on the discussion

Man, that would be a true "burn" if other writers realized this and just did a work around for the 3rd season Discovery betrayal of the Trek Universe, with the Romulans ultimately rising to the level of an intergalactic superpower as a result?
The Dilithium was probably used for trading with the other races, they didn't say that they used it on their ships.
Except they most likely don't use Dilithium as part of the Singularity Core.
Dilithium when charged is capable of containing matter and antimatter due to charged Dilithium being immune to the antimatter reaction thereby preventing the antimatter from exploding everything around it.
There is nothing that suggests that singularity cores use dilithium in any way, and as another poster pointed out, with Dilithium being an important resource, it could easily have been use for trading.
If they can completely restructure a BUYOUT for reputation, add a new tier to reputation, a new entry into reputations than your just being stupid at what the game CAN DO, and what it CAN'T DO
Also, as mentioned, we have no canon evidence of ships like the Mogai being equipped with Singularity Cores like the D'Deridex. Hell... we don't really know how a Singularity Core even works. Could Dilithium still be required in some form? We don't know.
Many people actually do understand how this game works and can post why some things are not feasible.
If it was that simple, then we would have a new form of intergalactic power, or the Federation would've launched a new fleet based on singularity cores. There's obviously (or seemingly) some element of them that requires dilithium.
Totally agree here. As of late I have noticed the name calling and insults increasing . How hard is it just to just talk in a civil manner?
These days, with how polarizing the world has become... apparently quite hard. This whole "You're either with me or against me" mentality exists outside of the forums too. We see it everywhere. ESPECIALLY in politics these days. Hell... Politics is probably the primary reason its so rampant now because... well... you know. Its become the new normal. Better to form camps and attack others for not agreeing with them than to actually work together and even remember the meaning of the word "Compromise".
People have the mentality that to disagree with them is to be against them. Yet I have a great friend over in the UK whom I disagree with all the time, yet we still remain friends because we understand each other.
I personally love comprises, I just don't get why common sense isn't very common these days, I don't like how the roles are reversed and being one the few sane people in the room is so out of character for me.
Technobabble is often spotty, and yes, they did not stop and discuss every single class of Romulan ship and point out what they use for their energy source. On the other hand, in Balance of Terror the Romulan warbird would have been years or decades away from port if they did not use SOME form of FTL, yet Scott could not find any sign of a warp drive on the Romulan ship. Considering that he was probably looking for warp core emissions that implies that they used something besides a warp core, and a singularity core would fit that situation nicely.
As for how the singularity core works, it is often called a "quantum singularity" power source and technobabble about it, while vague, seems to point to it using zero point energy like a very crude and bulky version of a ZPM from Stargate.
On the other hand, the technobabble about dilithium crystals is clear about their function is as the best and safest regulator of antimatter streams, pretty much the same as the unobtanium from Avatar. So, what use could they have in a singularity drive unless they also act as a zero point energy regulator (and the idea that it is the ultimate critical component in two entirely different energy technologies is stretching plausibility way past the breaking point).
Romulans probably do use the crystals in their plasma torpedo launchers (and plasma beams if they canonize those), and undoubtedly use them in whatever M/AM power facilities they do have, and probably trade them to some extent as well.
As for alternate transporter effects, they would be a great thing to have, unfortunately there is often a performance hit going from something that is fixed and depends on an unchanging factor like faction to something with a list of options, and I suspect this might be one of them.
If that is not the case then I am all for the optional route within reasonable limits. For instance I have a TOS-era Klingon made with the 'alien' generator and the nearly silent "flame shimmer" effect of the TOS Klingon transporters would be perfect for her. And anyone who roleplays a TOS Terran Empire character or who has a mirror universe ship as their main ship might find the sparkles that shift from blue to red during transport as seen in Mirror, Mirror desirable.
