I want to open a thread solely for knightships, but doubt that's neccesary.

[BobShemyakin]

wouldn't this count as a greyship?

I think very technically, in wider sense it's. The strict definition of greyship is that inner part should be with density 1/2. But more forgiving definition could allow less dense internal agars.

Now agar as well in the context of greyships is something which is usually static (with maybe some small parts of it changing). Your agar is p154, so it makes more sense to call it adjustable tagalong than greyship.

Yet technically you do have periodic agar that fills the plane with pretty high density, and the ship is adjustable - so yes one could call it greyship, if really insisting on widening the definitions.

Well. Let the right gray ships have fill density 1/2. Then the ships with lower density can be called light grey ships.
Examples of such ships have N.Beluchenko (sorry for Russian) 2006 year:

Synthesis for a bookend on block...

Finishing off a slow-salvo-compatible seed, using a piece of a loafer seed:

Code: Select all

x = 11, y = 23, rule = LifeHistory

Bookend on block is only four gliders to construct the normal way, though, so maybe there's a less expensive seed constellation hiding out there somewhere.

[muzik]

Could that approach be used to place the ladle spark in the loafer?

[dvgrn]

Could that approach be used to place the ladle spark in the loafer?

Yes, that's what "a piece of a loafer seed" meant. Last March chris_c found all the pieces, and I wired them together with one-time turners:

As usual, it's not that know what I'm doing with glider constructions, I'm just good at borrowing stuff.

This pattern:

When a really buggy script shows a pattern with potential as a spaceship involving a bakery and you see this:
