Fireship[1] is a c/10 orthogonal spaceship discovered by Simon Ekström on 20 March 2016[2] when looking for tagalongs for the copperhead. It is not considered a tagalong due to one phase of the tagalong interacting with the block.[3]
Due to the massive tail spark it produces, it has been used to create c/10 puffers and rakes using a glider loop system.
Reactions
Tanner Jacobi noticed that the rear end of the fireship can be attached to two other fireships, thus allowing for ships of arbitrary size.[4] Nico Brown built a puffer and a rake using copperheads with tagalongs to make a signal loop.[5]
