Historically, after running several daily missions I would have to return to base because my inventory is full.

Now, all I got is a few batteries, some commodities, maybe one of two ship weapons/consoles, and a some boxes.

This isn't very rewarding for the effort.

Anybody else notice this?

Every two days I run the Narendra patrol 5 times (for the patrol mission) on each of my three characters - the loot is vendor trash but I get enough engines, shields and deflectors to mitigate the costs of the rep system (assuming I buy the commodities from the appropriate vendors).

It's not fun, it's basically 90 minutes of facerolling for a handful of Rom marks, some ECs and no Dilithium whatsoever but it gets the job done.
