Guys, its nice you removed that gathering missions from New Romulus arc, but there are some things that needs to be solved.
First, make lower level player synced to lvl 50. I went there as lvl 38 and its lvl 50 designed area. 'Beta' near Hwael Ruins teleport tent can oneshot you with Lunge, then your boff before you can respawn, then you again...and so on.
Second, there are still no Env. Suits in Undergound Ruins mission to be found. New player specially have no other means get suits other than Dil store. I myself was stuck on this back then and if you forget bring them, then you can go back to bank in Staging area or waste 125 dil.
One simple box...
Theres one small bug in text after you leave Overgrown Cave.

Actually, only TOS Federation characters have a mission prior to reaching New Romulus that gives the players a set of EV suits. All other factions have to obtain them from later missions, or the Dilithium Store.
Also, all other missions that requires EV suits (except on Nukara Prime) actually gives the player a set of EV suits for the away team. Perhaps it's time that this mission had a box of suits sitting in the first chamber...
Add another reason cause New Romulus is no more interesting as battle zone, missions there no longer provide experience points, why a player, expecially below the lvl 50, have to spend time there, get crazy cause AI are too strong for them and many times abort the missions cause are almost impossible to win when they have not even the hope to grow as level?
About the EV Suit, as mechacz and inferiority wrote, all the other missions provide them, say mean nothing, even frequency remodulators to challenge the borg can be get from the replicator, but in the first mission of the borg episode, "Were Angels Fear To Tread", is mandatory get them on the romulan vessel, is enough add a crate with them at the start of the mission.
Oh was forgetting another silly thing that make New Romulus a .... bad battle zone. Thanks to that silly mission of the videos "Hidden Camera", all the missions are to be performed 2 or 3 times, it's boring for a lvl 65, try to guess for a lvl 40 that not even can improve his level.

Pretty sure mean you have no tried, i did and what i wrote is my direct experience. Following the episodes the level at the end of the Borg Advance is 35/36 and the first mission provided after the final Borg fleet action is New Romulus.
But if it's not enough look these pics, i took them near the Vastam Peaks with a lvl 65 char:

Now, i am fighting as a lvl 50, those enemies are at least lvl 65. More, when i attaked them was three, after few shots other 4 suddenly appeared together with a drone. As it was not enough was around some insects swarms that help the AIs, few seconds and me and my first officer were down. Should be hard confront those AIs with a complete away team, being just 2 it's impossible. And those AIs are on the road to the Mountain Pass, if one have not yet activate all the transports must deal with them.
Try to say again that are no problems on New Romulus.
Edit: something newer that may work better for you on Hirogens is Leck's Throwing Knives. You all have that, right?? Or is that mission still too high up?

Borg Advance is 45+, New Romulus is 50+, the Scientists HP are correct. No problems on New Romulus.
