The weekender is, as expected, ridiculously difficult to synthesize, but I've made inroads.
Code: Select all
x = 36, y = 22, rule = B3/S23

There looks like enough room for a clever domino sparker instead of the brute-force ones at the top, while still getting the pre-TLs into positions at the front. The gliders approaching from the sides seem to be flexible in a hit-and-miss way, so if those could be arranged to give enough room for a construction of the back, this might work.
Here's another approach I spent much longer on, and am not sure how to keep going forward with.

x = 34, y = 38, rule = LifeHistory

EDIT 2: I've seen the TL+Block combo enough times to know that this might be possible. Unfortunately, shenanigans would be required for the back of the ship, at this point. Block/glider cycles necessary to get crossed glider streams omitted.
