Are there any outer-totalistic cellular automata that have a very common (basically, within 1/10 or so of the frequency of the glider) spaceship other than the glider? Isotropic non-totalistic has plenty of these, but I haven't noticed any in OTL (though jellyfish is close)

Some uninteresting, non-adjustable, billiard table oscillators in B3567/S23458. They were trivial to build in this rule, and are a dime a dozen. Their periods aren't very high, and none of them are asymmetric, because I didn't have the patience to wait for high periods to get detected.
