Well, I wouldn't say "a major can of worms" - just a relatively small detail that is nonetheless important in distinguishing your crew. But I understand if it's the only ones available - that doesn't surprise me. STO is one of those stupid things that tries to "rectify" all forms of Star Trek by mashing all the eras together into one indistinguishable mess, which always involves trampling over TOS and the things that make TOS distinct (like giving TOS ships warp cores when they shouldn't have any, physical torpedo casings when TOS ships used pure energy photon torpedoes...everyone wearing the same badge, even if they're not from the Enterprise...it goes on and on).
But enough about STO. I hope your story is able to progress well, and that you have some people who are really knowledgeable about TOS on your writing staff, as it were!
