I don't know why I imagined they would cause problems, but i'm formally sharing this statement so nobody feels obligated to not post B0 rules. Thanks
Well, I ran an LLS search for some 3-cell ships in B0 rules. Here's what I found for periods up to 8 cycles. Some of these speeds and slopes are already known, but I figured I might as well post the whole set. At least some of the oblique slopes should be new, or smaller than the smallest previously known ships with those slopes.

(2,1)c/2 appears to be impossible, even in B0 rules, and I suspect the same is likely true for (
N,
M)c/
N for all
M > 0. Certainly my search didn't turn up any such ships.
For the other speeds / slopes that my search failed to find, increasing the bounding box may allow the gaps to be filled. FWIW, I ran the search using
my strobing boundary generator for LLS with a 10x10 cell bounding box for the initial generation (and thus an effective 10+
X x 10+
Y bounding box for the intermediate generations, for ships with a slope of (
X,
Y) cells). A lot of the ships look as if they're about to explode in all directions, before suddenly collapsing back to their starting generation, so it's quite plausible that some otherwise valid solutions could be hitting the search area limits.
AFAICT, all these ships appear to have the full period. I didn't add any explicit constraints to prevent subperiodic solutions, but the small maximum population for the initial generation seems to do a pretty good job of making LLS unlikely to find them.
