Also, don't feel discouraged, but the spaceship you discovered was already known: p84 ship, the tagalong that FWK discovered (4,4,0):...

Is this going to become Random Posts 5? Because it was not intended to be!!! May I ask what you intended it to be?

Can anyone get a glider to shoot towards the light blue during the cleanup, if so we could replace that with a crabstreacher plus some gliders to provide a single-glider cleanup.

This one has an extra 144 generations over Calcyman's, and I rephased the queen bees by 6 generations to compensate (144+6=150=5*30; we don't need to alter the fuses because 144=6*24), allowing for two more pink delays (another 240): x = 112, y = 89, rule = LifeSuper 3S18.8Q20.12Q4.5Q2.Q15.2M15.Q$2....

Also, is the leftover ship a problem? Thanks for catching this. There is still a problem with a tub turning into a boat because of a spark provided by the OTT, so I deleted it.
