Here's a B2a rule which really likes odd period spaceships. It's fairly explosive, but I thought the prevalence of odd periods was interesting. When I say 'rule', this is actually the minimal rule supporting all the odd period patterns below. Together they work in 2^61 rules, so I suppose there's a reasonable chance of dampening the dynamics somewhat.
