First of all, welcome to the forums. Be sure to read
this overview of the rules if you haven't already.
Second of all, while the Patterns board is only intended for B3S23 and not for alternative rules, there is another board, called
Other Cellular Automata, for other rules. It even has
a thread for HighLife.
Third of all, the spaceship that you have posted is already known. It's called the
bomber. (People have been searching alternative rules for several decades, so they have found a lot of patterns in them.) However, the fact that you found it independently is still impressive.
I am tentatively considering myself back.
