You had recently leveled and had not spoken to a trainer, correct?
IIRC, pets spawn based on Security Level, not Combat.
Um... no... they spawn based on Combat level. That's why it's a good idea to dismiss and resummon all your pets after you level - so they do to.
Besides, while you are describing the situation where I first noticed it, it dtill doesn't fit - I hit 35 tonight. But as I was moving to dismiss my pets, I noticed that they were all at levels 31/32/33... which mean that when I first summoned them at level 34, they were all one level below what they should have been.
Then I dismissed and resummoned them. Now they were 32/33/34 - still one level less.

I dunno what's going on then.
Okay, check me if I'm wrong, but aren't the pets supposed to be: Tier 1 pets are 2 levels below your character, Tier 2 are one level below you, and tier 3 pets are equal level. Right?
But I noticed tonight that I was summoning them one level below that. My battle drones are all three levels below me, my Protector Bots are 2 levels below me, and my Assault bot is one level below me.
Is this an intentional change I missed? Or is something screwy going on?
