Sorry for the double post, but the rules say that the spaceship doesn't have to be our own...
Therefore:
Gemini
Euclidean speed: 0.00015493947

Edit: I think Gemini might technically be adjustable, so your record still stands lmao

Instead of making questionable remarks unnecessarily mentioning an user or another entity that shouldn't be mentioned without necessity, both of you could mention in the post what's the actual speed of the posted spaceship, as well as link to the source (if any) for said spaceship and provide any other related information/context.

I don't like the idea that this thread is about winning or setting a record. This is not a thread about finding slow ships, meaning just saying the slowest known ship feels like it defeats the purpose. Eg I could always post viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3089&start=50#p160095 and "win"(Moosey's snrship is adjustable). Because there is nowhere left to go, I would recommend restarting from c/1,

If people do not like the changes, I can move this to a different thread.

The game is to try to find a ship as close to the previous speed while being slightly slower. You are required give the ships speed, Euclidian speed, and the difference between the current Euclidian speed, and the previous Euclidian speed.

Speed: c/1
Euclidian speed: 1
Difference: N/A

This looks like a potentially adjustable spaceship, in the sense that you could adjust it by varying the state count. Here is a c/15 using the same idea:
