I've been seeing some talk regarding TEC as the weakest Carrier race.

Personally, other than minor harrasment - the only time I would use fighters/bombers in a front line battle is with the TEC level 6 ability. Don't know if anyone else has done the match - but at level 5 (usually you can get this or get very close to this before your first fight with another player) - you're sporting 4 squadrons, all with +3 armor and +30% damage as TEC. Level 6 is probably the only redeeming quality to fighters/bombers in the game at the moment. Someone was me
