I'm guessing that two of the the bi-loaf 2 soups were rotations of this:

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 5, rule = B3/S23

and that the switch engine came from this (from here):

Re: How to use Gfind?

Sorry to bump a really old topic, but this seemed the best place to post this. When I run a search using gfind, the output only gives (at most) one ship for each period/speed, and often it's not even of the full period (eg. it will output a c/2 p2 ship when searching speed 3c/6). When I search B3/S2...

Would it be possible for the Catagolue site to give an option to display pages with static images instead? Any page with more than about ten SVG images on it loads really slowly, and trying to open one of the pages for individual hauls in 2x2 is causing my browser to freeze completely.
