A new oblique spaceship has appeared in a C1 soup for the rule B38/S23.
It travels at a rate of (5,2)c/190 and has a minimum population of 33 cells.

x = 28, y = 40, rule = B38/S23

This appears to be a previously unknown ship (at least it doesn't appear in David Eppstein's database, nor on any of the topics in this forum). It exhibits an unusual boat-dragging behavior where it shifts a boat by a (5,2) offset and then the chaos reappears at the same offset. Unfortunately, it doesn't work in any of the closely related rules (like Standard Life), mostly because it requires the 'pedestrian' behavior of this rule (that TL predecessors tend to blow up).

The Catagolue page for this ship is here: https://catagolue.appspot.com/object/xq ... 352/b38s23

[Scorbie]

The ship is made of two R engines stabilizing each other. A single R is an unstable oblique H puffer, like Life's Switch engine. The front R's exhaust is eaten by the back R. The back R's exhaust is eaten by the boat. A single R with boat is unstable due to an inconvenient block, which is cleaned by the front R in this ship. This is really a miraculous natural contraption.

The new ship is easy to synthesize in 8 gliders, since it is just two Rs and a boat. (In my first go at this I missed that the R + beehive just becomes another R). Here is one example:

In B358/S23 there's a natural 36c/72 puffer:

I don't know who first got this (or if it was known previously). It's turned up 6 times in C1. It works also in B35/S23 but apparently hasn't evolved there so far.

One can combine two of these puffers in various ways to make spaceships. Here are six. There undoubtedly are many others.
