DS9 did the scarcity element way better and they were within the quadrant. Multiple episodes devoted to dealing with ####ty relic cardassian technology, or the struggles of having to replace broken parts, or the chief adding triple redundancies to everything, etc.
Edit: last complaint because I could go for hours, but the fact that voyager could withstand attacks from a borg cube but couldn't completely eradicate a fleet of barbarous kazon was always absolutely maddening, and adds to my inability to rewatch any of the first couple seasons of the show.
