This is my current set of c/7 partials i amassed over 1.5 years: #CXRLE Pos=0,0 x = 416, y = 261, rule = LifeHistory 7.A5.A17.D5.D13.A5.A16.A5.A21.A5.A14.A5.A14.A5.A12.A5.A15.A5.A16.A13.

The front spark is really cool and makes more pushalongs possible: x = 26, y = 102, rule = B3/S23 23b3o$20bo$19bo4bo$20bo$21b2o$21bobo$21bob2o$19bob2o$19bobo2$21bobo$ 21bobo$21b2o2$16b3o$16b3o$16bobo$15bo2b2o$14bo3bob2o$14bo4b3o$13bo2bo 4bo$16bo2$17b5o$14bo2b5o$15b2o2b4o$14b2o$15bo7bo$14bo7bo$16bo$...

Known c/6d tagalong? (Check the top:)

I haven't seen this before, so it's not previously known. Nice find!

Why is it that whenever I try to find a width 11 wave supporting c/7, I never find a solution but I find an extremely large partial: I can relate: See the c/7 partials over here . Very typical how extensions of this speed are so easily found, but no tails whatsoever. My hunch is that it is more lik...

... Is there anyone who thinks the entries should not be separated? I think they should not be separated and that they belong together, because wickstretchers and greystretchers share the same principals. I don't think you need to differentiate/separate if a wick consists of one tub or a collection...

Consequently, by the above reasoning i'm not sure if my c/6d tubstretcher should be part of the entry. I have neither used LLSSS or finished a partial from it. It's not up to me, but i am fine with either removing my contribution to the entry or keep it. In a normal year, I would have included any ...

Regarding shared nominations, the first 2c/5 wickstretcher and the c/5 diagonal dominoes stretcher should be added to #14, which would then become a "new wickstretchers" entry. We could potentially split the graystretchers off to form a separate nominee. Thoughts? One reason to keep the wickstretch...

A very, very ugly c/3 solve finally finished this, a 3c/9 backrake: The gliders can also be read as 3c/21 the other way which allows for this "wave" stretcher (and many more like it), but only in the most useless sense of "wave": Taco paired with the 3c/9 backrake can also remove the glider "wave"....

B-heptaplet can been sparked to travel at 2c/5, means that it's a tagalong for 2c/5 ships: ... The spaceship above can pull two B-heptaplets. However, there's no known other ships that can pull the tagalong. This heptaplet appears in the jslife-moving collection of 2c5 ships repository, in 'ships-2...

Unrelated: is the following small symmetric spider tagalong known?

You probably have consulted jslife-moving as i have, but it is indeed not there. I cannot recall a previous post concerning spider tagalong discoveries, so i guess this is new.

Of course! Thank you Bullet51 and Calcyman, i forgot that a symmetric c/6d could also be one of the possibilities of maintaining a tubstretcher. There are very few symmetric c/6d ships, but to my amazement Salp2 can actually act as a tubstretcher: x = 85, y = 85, rule = B3/S23 12bob3o$11bobo$11bobo3...

Supporting the tagalong with 77P6H1V1-plus-antenna-pushalong and/or the Stag Beetle is a nice find. Were there ways to support c/6 diagonal tagalongs mentioned? Yes, if you include the initial post where the tagalong was discovered, and it shows the tagalong being supported by a Slug and Seal. It's ...

I've found a new c/6d ship, 439P6H1V1 I started out with the partial from Bullet51 but ended up with a very different ship.

I had a look at afind to poke around and see if it could be useful for producing wide partials with its floating-rows options enabled. It is suffering from code rot and it occasionally segfaults, but fortunately the program is working long enough to produce something useful, like these orthogonal c/...

Didn't work. Should I set specific parameters for clang before the first recompile?
