You can just get a new power because another alien is trumping yours. Yea sometimes it sucks. However, there is a technology card that lets you randomly select a new alien power in addition to your own. So if you play with the tech variant, at least you can have a chance that you may not get stuck with an unsuccessful power.

Did you mean to say that you cannot get a new power if another alien is trumping yours?

 

You do not get a new power.  That is part of Cosmic Encounter.  Sometimes powers are made useless or less useful by other powers.  You just have to try to win with a weakened power.  I have been involved in many games in which the winner had a useless power or lost his power.
