Some if you may remember this pattern...

It's a fuze at an oblique angle. It makes gliders which could be used to make more blocks.
Would it be possible?

EDIT: Nevermind- it destroys the blocks.

There's a (13,1)c/31 reaction that could conceivably be made into a Caterpillar-based knightship. But it will be undoubtedly larger (by population count) than Gemini, albeit probably smaller in diameter.

I've always found Gemini's movement rather difficult to visualize. I know how it works, but it takes forever to see it happen. I'd love to work on a non-UCC based oblique spaceship, especially one with a period that small.

I posted some information about the (1,13)c/31 reaction, as well as an interesting (5,23)c/79 reaction here.
