I've recently been tinkering with the ability to summong friendly mobs through the use of SC. However, the one problem I'm running into is the level modifier when summoning via Creature capture pods. The modifier for most mobs caps out at 10 on most planets, however it can go higher to an undetermined amount. I have summoned a tentacle meteor boss with more than 600'000hp, however at the same time, general-penguin mobs have significantly lesser damage (150 at level 10+). That said, some mobs like guard robots have 1000 ~ 1300 base damage at level 10.
It really isnt. There isnt a single question mark in there. Anyway - no its a soft cap. Feel free to level as you want.
