This rule (B2k3-eknq4-anrw5nq6cn/S2aek3-acey4ciqy5-cjqy6ce7c8) is definitely worth mentioning:
Here's a pattern that lasts 110,262 generations, but there's something else special about this rule other than it almost being explosive:
Code: Select all

I'm sure that you can make a gun for one of the spaceships using some galaxies, but I haven't been able to find one yet. The galaxy also seems to be too big to apgsearch this rule, so finding other objects might be difficult.
