When exactly do I lose my alien power?
The rulebook states the rule, and the designer confirmed that lost colonies do not count.

The moment you control fewer than three home colonies (two in the four-planet variant). Having a single ship on a home planet counts as a colony, so the number of ships does not matter, and a lost or vacated planet does not count. Regaining three restores the power.
