Did Borg Red Alert change? Suddenly instantly dying / not doing any damage.

Hey guys!
So I was playing my toon for a while. I just got her back up to level 60 since I started over. Anyway, I've maxed out and built my ship.. I was doing Borg Red Alert's.. And I was doing okay. I could take on the group of 2 Cube's.. Or the group of 1 Cube and spheres.. I could blow them up at a "reasonable" time.. I wasn't a DPS player, but you know.. I managed to destroy all the enemies within a reasonable time frame. I could heal myself, everything went smoothly. I know the Borg always takes away shields, but I have a high resistance rating, over 100k in hull. And a lot of powerful heals due to me being an Engineer.
Then due to work and stuff, I couldn't play for a while. Like 1-2 weeks..Ish.
Now when I try to do a Borg Red Alert.. They just don't take my shields down, they almost immediately blow my ship up. I go from 102,550 hull to 0 in a few seconds. I can't even manage to hit a heal button or activate a keybind before I instantly blow up. Most of the time there is "No damage recorded" thingy. But mostly I've been defeated by "Borg Plasma Torpedo" even when no torpedo is visible. I usually catch those with a tractor beam.
I also notice for some reason, I litteraly do almost no damage when I actually manage to stay in the fight. I can no inflict any noticeable damage to the Borg ships. It's like I'm throwing rocks at it.
Has something changed during the last updates or something?

The only reason I can think of for the difference is perhaps you were just with a really bad team and everything was focusing on you?
I'm not sure what would cause such a huge difference, but I haven't noticed any change at all in Red Alerts and no change was announced or documented. Honestly sounds like you just had a run of bad luck and hit one of those uber death torps.
I thought that at first too. But it's happening all the time in Borg Red Alert's.. For some reason when the final boss ship comes in.. I have zero problems surviving even when it's targeting me. But normal Cube's and Sphere's seem to "one-shot" me.
I do not have problems in the Tholian Red Alert. It's quite puzzling. I was looking into maybe it was lag problems or something. I guess I will try again tomorrow.
l don't know.
l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.
That l must repeat the words that come without my knowledge.'
Good call.. it's happened to me a few times. Traits just suddenly clear themselves.
