Here is a 2g reduction to the table-on-table to hat component, which previously cost 79g, and now costs 53g:

Can it be reduced more? The base reaction is very simple:
Code:

x = 15, y = 16, rule = B3/S23

This component was used to synthesize
xs22_8o6heg8oz3201ac.
I will edit the old component in to this post as soon as I find it again.
The very long house adder, combined with a simple conversion I found, can reduce the old component by 24g, so the above route is not a huge change (but it could allow for much more reduction). (I posted this previously, but not as clearly.)

Select all
x = 580, y = 89, rule = B3/S23

There is an edgier way of adding the very long house, but it is not needed here.
Again, this method of generating that spark is very inefficient, and can probably be reduced tremendously.
(Edit: Please let me know if anything is off in this post. I think I may have miscounted the glider cost, for one).
Engineering macro-spaceships is hard.
