OCA:HighLife/List of common spaceships

This is a list of the most common spaceships in HighLife, specifically Catagolue's B36/S23/C1 census. The patterns in this table beyond row 5 are only approximately ranked, as they all occur very infrequently so it is difficult to generate accurate estimates of their occurrence. The approximate relative frequency column gives an estimate of the proportion of all randomly-occurring spaceships that will be of the given type.

Rank	Pattern	Period	Heat	Speed	Minimum # of cells	Approximate relative frequency (out of 1.00)	% Difference in frequency from Life
1	Glider	4	4	c/4 diagonal	5	0.9963	-1.80%
2	Lightweight spaceship	4	11	2c/4 orthogonal	9	0.002442	+63.78%
3	Bomber	48	38.4	8c/48 diagonal	19	0.0005962	-
4	Middleweight spaceship	4	15	2c/4 orthogonal	11	0.0005886	+53.20%
5	Heavyweight spaceship	4	19	2c/4 orthogonal	13	0.00006536	-2.10%
6	[1]	192	138.5	32c/192 diagonal	54	2.047×10-9	-
	[2]	384	150.8	64c/384 diagonal	53	2.047×10-9	-
