This rule is inspired by stars (B2e3-ceny4einqwz5-cikr6cei/S1c2e3aijky4aceijrz5-cejk6-ak7c8). It behaves quite differently - but they share the shuriken/stars. Here are the main features: A c/2 ship which has a stable splitter and a c/6 diag ship: x = 108, y = 138, rule = B2ei3air4c5nr6k8/S12-ai3aek...

B2i3/S2-i3 has some nice ships (and a nice c/10 front partial), there is also a natural p40 block-puffer - two of them give a sparky two-engine ship: x = 272, y = 120, rule = B2i3/S2-i3 10$97b3o$96bo2bo$100bo$60bo18b3o13bo4bo41bo3bo14bo7bo$49bo9b3o16bo2bo 14bo3bo40b3ob3o12bob2obob2obo14b2o13bo12bo9b...

I think we should only 'collect' interesting one, e.g. those which have guns or allow for conduits,or even for knightoids, like this one with a stable knight-splitter: Here is a relative that might give the first knightoid: x = 406, y = 126, rule = B2ek3ikq4jknqtyz5-acy6ekn7/S12-cn3ei4an5aery6aci7e...

There are SO MANY OF THESE RULES— is it even worth collecting these? The majority are disinteresting because they are explosive, way too stable, or only capable of producing a couple novel objects naturally. Most are the first or the second of those. The same goes for every single set of rules with...

apgsearch doesn't distinguish between a 4G collision which synthesises a single object and one which evolves into a big mess in which the object appears several thousand gen later (along with a large amount of ash). Finding the 4G gems amongst the rest of the results is tedious, kudos to Ian07, Gol...

It vanishs: x = 3, y = 3, rule = B2cen3aj4cnqt5aekny6ac78/S1c2-an3-ak4crt5aejnr6c7e o$bo$2bo!

Not 100% sure if these are failed replicators,but I think so.

3324c/33516. Nice work! :) so my c/10 estimate was quite close - I think the fastest Orthogonoid constructed so far in any rule (including B3/S23). The theoretical speed limit (that can not be reached) by such a design is 7c/15 isn't it? It might be possible to make it e.g. exactly c/3 and then use...
