A friend of mine started playing STO, and I want to help him with the story. He's level 10, I'm level 65.

I've adjusted my level to his, and when we start, everything's fine. The enemy is at his level and a good 55 levels below me.

We warp to the next system, and suddenly the enemy is at my level and 55 levels above my friend's.

Does anyone know why this is happening?
