12-cell predecessor to a gun that shoots p32 spaceships.
Rd blocks are created by spaceship collisions in the center, and then pulled by backrakes.

Code: Select all

x = 79, y = 8, rule = PlusMinus2_004

The pattern you posted is an isolated ship of the gun you describe, which is the first pattern posted here. Did you mean to post a different pattern (12 cell predecessor)? Inspired by your post, I found this 10 cell predecessor to the gun:

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 2, rule = PlusMinus2_004
2B2.2B$B4AB!
The 5S project (Smallest Spaceships Supporting Specific Speeds) is now maintained by AforAmpere. The latest collection is hosted on GitHub and contains well over 1,000,000 spaceships.

Semi-active here - recovering from a severe case of LWTDS.
