The fix you posted breaks the symmetry... Yeah, sorry, adding the block was more of a test than a suggestion. I wonder if an idea like this would be useful?

Sadly, they (he) do(es) not accept snarks when it comes to eaters... I do concede that very large ships will need staged recovery to be eaten fully, let alone get a glider output from the devices.
