That pair of gliders was intended for a plain BLSE, not a p1152 puffer. How is this for an improvement?calcyman wrote: ↑December 1st, 2022, 9:36 amHow can we most easily fire down the puffer from behind? A pair of synchronised gliders works (discovered by dvgrn here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3347&start=50#p60527 ), although you'll also need a third synchronised glider to remove the NW-escaping glider...

48 = 288/4 - 288/12, where 288 is the period of the leading BLSE that we're trying to stop, 1/4 is the speed of the gliders, and 1/12 is the speed of the BSLE.
EDIT: This one looks pretty good -- just one extra SE glider, and those aren't a problem:
