FlutterWithKSparkler requested privately for further information on the higher-period oblique spaceships. So I am posting the vectors here, with group s for 660 clean cloverleaf pairs sorted by Δy and the group r for 13 T-ship making pairs:

s = """

[(-30,19,-108),(-14,19,55)]

These are some (fast?) components inspired by the soup for xs33_xo4o0ehrz259aahz069521 .

Hold on. Is a (3,12)c/75 spaceship possible? All copies of cloverleaf in such a spaceship would be perturbed every 75 ticks, and spinning in place for more cloverleaf periods (240 ticks) is not allowed, so there would be significantly different interactions.

Yes, puffer and rake too ...

More notes on the oblique spaceship. I wrote a script to verify the collected group of vectors, which found a pair missing in the original post due to misidentification. The pairs that emits T-ships have the following vectors:

Here comes some simple mathematical modelling. A pair of cloverleaf capable of pushing is annotated by a vector that starts from the center of "follower", ends at the center of "driver", and has three components (Δx, Δy, Δt) describing the spatio-temporal differences between them. Any x-in-a-row ...

I am attempting to find the relationship between (unsimplified) period and displacement of an x-in-a-row oblique spaceship and the parameters ΣΔy and 2ΣΔx - ΣΔt . The displacement depends on the number of T-ships, with one T-ship corresponding to a (3,12) displacement, which implies an additional 12 ...
