Zackbuildit777's rules

this is a thread for some of the rules I've made that i don't feel confident enough in to make separate threads for

rule 1) B2-a4-aenqt56/S01e2ei3aer4ceiqy
Name: Suggestions-Welcome (thats the actual name im not actually accepting suggestions)
Properties: has (if i recall correctly) five known natural spaceships, with three different speeds (c/3o, c/6o, and c/4d), a wickstretcher and wickeater that can be attached to make an extensible c/3o, and a few different natural oscillators.
Designed for: primarily for spaceships and potential but nontrivial synthesis tech

rule 2) B3-ceky4z/S23-y4ceqyz5a6i8
Name: Mirul
Properties: tolerant objects (mainly still lifes), three known natural spaceships, with two natural speeds (c/4d and 3c/20o), and highly mobile chaos
Designed for: having tolerant objects (as in objects that can be damaged slightly and end up stabilizing into a similar but different object with similar properties) in a rule with mobile chaos. one of my only good non-alternating cgol variants.

rule 3) B3/S23|B2ek3ceky8/S234-cejky (cannot be run in golly, does have a ruletable)
Name: Zhii
Properties: has a natural c/2o and a natural c/4o which share a phase, but due to the rule being alternating the can still be different speeds. also has a 3c/6o and some other spaceships.
Designed for: a reasonably easy to explain alternating rule in which one subrule is cgol and the other cannot escape bounding box. it is of note to mention that it failed at the task of being easy to describe
(collections of known objects in this rule can be found in the alternating rules thread)

rule 4) B1e2ce6/S34q568|B2c3-i/S23-y458 (cannot be run in golly, does have a ruletable)
Name: (this one actually is unnamed, and suggestions for a name actually are welcome)
Properties: three spaceships, being a c/2o, 3c/8o, and a c/14o, (in discrete period, the practical periods are c/1o, 3c/4o, and c/7d) all with no more than six cells in their smallest phases, plus an easy to synthesize RRO. Also, has relatively easy to make object synthesis tech, and some amount of evidence for UC
Designed for: having the chance of interesting spaceship speeds using B1e2c, and also having more than one natural spaceship without being explosive.
(collections of known objects in this rule can be found in the alternating rules thread)

rule 5) M0,2,1,12,8,5,6,7,4,9,10,11,3,13,14,15|M0,4,8,3,1,10,6,7,2,9,5,11,12,13,14,15 (cannot be run in golly, doesn’t have a ruletable)
Name: dominotons
Properties: two ships, the dominoton (which is a domino that moves at lightspeed) and the hopship (which is two dominoes next to each other and moves at c/2o), it also has unusually easy to design logic compared to most reversible rules. Also has spaceship reflectors, and finite population properties
Designed for: demonstrating interesting properties in alternating margolus rules other than naturalistic rules

These are the five rules i can remember right now, i have made a lot of others though. Also if anyone can find a spaceship gun or something in the unnamed rule, that would be a great help for finding evidence of turing completion or universal construction in it.

new rule: B34c5k/S23-c4cw5k78 (currently unnamed)
it has three basic natural ships, but about 8 known natural, and it also has tech made using interactions between groups of ships:
