Surely, although I imagine there is a limit to how many times the crystals get "recrystallized" or "recomposited" before being unable to be renewed anymore.

How, exactly, would introducing photons recrystallize the crystals?

You know what, never mind...

Undoubtedly. Law of diminishing returns and all that. But it would alleviate some of the pressure the Enterprise seemed to be under concerning dilithium back in TOS.

Excuse me - I'll take the American metro corridor version:

"When a mommy photon and a daddy photon drink too much and meet in a bar..."

If we take each one as being the flagship of a specific fleet with, say, four or five hundred ships in each, it becomes reasonable enough.
How many times do you see Kirk leading that? :P

Imo the TOS fleet is horribly under manned and unrealistic. How many times did we hear that the enterprise was the nearest ship to a certain problem? Its retarded. Almost as bad as in Generations when Enterprise B was the only one nearby and they were right by Sol!
