7c/40 toroidal spaceship?

[PHPBB12345]

it is 7c/40 toroidal spaceship known?

[codeholic]

Did you forget to attach a pattern?

[muzik]

Is this an entirely new spaceship, or just something that uses the torus bounded grid feature?

[flipper77]

Either you tried to post and see if the object you speak of is known and forgot to attach the pattern, or you're wondering if a 7c/40 toroidal spacehip is known at all? As for the latter, I'm not too sure, and toroidal spaceships don't seem to be a widely studied area.

[thunk]

Trivially, one caterloopillar of the necessary speed, placed on a torus will suffice. But that's probably not what you meant.

If you need to, you could probably interleave the outputs of a few 7c/40 caterloopillar-based rakes to get a pseudo-p40 glider rake, and use these rakes to support either end of the cylindrical replicator to yield an extensible 7c/40 messy puffer.
