For me, nothing is more valuable as a capital than a coloniser, who cares about straight up offense when I can make worlds mine? The ability to colonize is the most powerful ability in the game for me, coz thats the most deciding factor in "will my empire get bigger or not"

The vasari loyalists disagree

^You need to colonize the planet before you can eat it.

And its not like colony capital's are pushovers, they can hold their own well in early game, and early game impact is important, since it provides your basis for the entire rest of the game, win or lose.

If I wasnt so fond of carriers, my fleets would be 100% colonizers, instead of just 40%. Not including titans, when I remember to build em.

But surely you can see how someone else's definition of 'powerful' might be how it fares in a fight?

Apparently the survey closed once 100 people took it!  The OP's link to take it no longer works.

If you are curious to see the results, here is a link that still displays results.

Yep.  Because I don't have a paid account on the survey site, I can only see the first 100 results.  I closed it because any data beyond the first hundred is useless.

maybe you dont count against that limit? I noticed for one of the results, 100 people answered, but 1 skipped...

Same, I noticed on a few, mostly on "which is the most powerful..." it was 79 answered, 22 skipped, was a lil odd.

Man, the Advent loyalists have a lock on worst faction.
