Definitely between Subversion and Scramble bombers.  I try to find a useless skills for Advent and TEC and the closest I can find is Clairvoyance.

Why do you think deploy siege platform is useless? I find it only confusing that the info card doesn't give info on its damage, but I'm sure each decreases the time it takes to destroy a colony by 10% or something. Of course it's not the first choice upgrade for the Desolator, but still useful.

Scramble bombers on the other hand is pretty useless, since the range or frequency doesn't increase with the levels.

def. subversion...bombers & siege platform actually do useful things. Subversion usually ends up getting used on a planet you are about to glass, which kinda negates the purpose.

from what i'm seeing in the reference files, the scramble bombers creates a squad that lasts 2 minutes and has a 40 second cooldown(at level 3). looks like you could maybe have up to 3 extra squads per carrier out?

siege platform gets 20->26->32 bombing damage

I would have to say, in my opinion, that subversion is a semi useless ability because like crashmatsusow said, it usually gets used on the planet you are about to glass.
