Re: Spaceship Discussion Thread
Quick and (less) dirty p72 version with a nice glider output. the evolution has a mild bottleneck after the first glider is released when the debris-taming glider I used is removed, so maybe an actual sparky ship rather than my lazy attempts at overusing Heisenburp glider spam could clean it more e...
