IIRC in the reboot of MK2 the priority on carriers was substantially lowered to stop civs from obsessing over their mass production, but by that point the damage had been done and several naval powerhouses that had done well enough before were still totally wrecked by their abundant and useless carriers. Were the precautions implemented in X?

In addition to the "can attack" mod, I remember there being some sort of mod they were adding that either added a hard cap to number of carriers or dramatically reduced how likely ais were to make them. I distinctly remember this being one of the things they were testing early on, so it should be less of a problem now.
yes I believe there is a hard cap now to carriers to like 15 or 30 or something
I'll answer all!
The can attack mod posed some issues in testing, so it was one of the mods we removed thinking it impacted load times on past 200 parts. This meant that when we were testing mods, by the time we had a functioning mod pack, it escaped testing and it was too late. So carriers are carriers.
BUT we imposed a hard-limit (which seems to work, although we think it doesn't block gold purchasing), as well as a major bias nerf even harder than Mk2.1; and I can confirm the ocean is not full of carriers by T1000+ (where we are now). So you can rest easy there. It's just full of... everything else.
It's full of archaeologists, isn't it?
No, it's full of Tonga.
oh no
Wasn't there a carriers-can-attack mod that got voted in in the minor mods vote?
Yea, was gonna say, think it gave them a 15 damage attack and changed some ai flavors but may be talking out my arse
