Code: Select all

x = 65, y = 70, rule = B3/S23

That's a six-switch-engine Cordership -- there are a lot of these around nowadays, with as few as three engines.

See Golly's Patterns/Life/Spaceships/corderships.rle for a few more examples of the breed; the southeast one is a copy of the one you posted.
