I have just started playing again and was very surprised when just onto my old level 50 toon entered into a borg event and was surprised at how out of date I am because by the time I even got close to any of the cubes they were destroyed then I just go into firing range and the mother ship was destroyed . the last time I played ( a few years back) it took almost until the timer was ended for the mother ship to be destroyed and sometimes it would be . what are people using to be able to make such quick work of the borg ?

I hear you, as I just recently been trying to re-figure things out. Did a few Red Alerts for marks/etc and found these to be "Hit or Miss".
Sometimes, it went just as you described. Other times, complete and utter failure. Most of the time, it was somewhere in the middle. Just depends on how the others in your team are geared. The super fast ones, I imagine they are all MkXIVs and all maxed out.
Other times, probably like four others like myself... geared in 2014-2015 MkXI or MkXII gear. In those, it felt like a challenge or utter failure.
One failure, there were a few, I think I counted like 20 probes/regens/tractor adds around the mother ship. It was... fascinating and sad at the same time.

@Silynn, a little advice to the newly returned. The one thing you can do that gives you the most punch will be upping your weapons to Mk XIV. Even if you don't take them Epic yet, just getting them to XIV gives them a significant boost. If you're committed to using certain weapons (in the sense that you've decided, "Yes, these are the ones I'm going to use for the foreseeable future"), get them to XIV as fast as resources reasonably allow for.

If you have access to the Reputation system weapons, look into the Delta Alliance set & store. Then begin upgrading when you can. Just remember that set weapons cannot be re-engineered. The Rep store weapons should be able to be re-engineered (Am I right?).
But a LOT is going to depend on how far behind you are in Skills, what Traits you have access to, your BOff skills, and your boat type.
Check the C-Store and see if you have any free stuff available. Maybe a ship? Also check the Reclaim tab in the DIL store for other free stuff.
Then again, I could be full of crap. No one has ever said that I was, but I frequently am wrong.

Everything has changed from back the days.
Reputations - leading to not just powerful space sets, but powerful weapon sets - the combination of both alone to complement each other and leading to great builds.
Starship mastery and Traits playing a role to enhance your DPS procs.
Fleet consoles to enhance DPS for both weapons and exotic - as per your respective builds, availability to upgrade your current weapons to MK XIV which grant you extra proc modifiers, and finally from the recent update, the ability to gain desired procs by Re-engineering them to suit your character's DPS output.

The Rep store weapons should be able to be re-engineered (Am I right?).
The general rule that answers that question is, if the weapon has the normal number of mods it would have for its rarity level (e.g. 3 for a VR), you can re-engineer it.
Confirm whether the weapons you want to use can be Re-Engineered before you commit resources. A lot of items that cannot be R-E'ed yet are on the Devs' radar to make compatible with the system when they can. Know what you're getting into.

Side note, yet related: Terran Rep Beam, Prolonged Phaser and Trilithium-laced Omni beams cannot be re-engineered as of today. Confirmed by yours truly.

It's not just gear.
Not only has our understanding of the mechanics advanced significantly, we've been given all sorts of new tools (traits primarily) to master them.
I remember when Dragon builds were the new hotness, now they're just the bare minimum in demonstrating understanding.
