Can anyone run a Bellman search on 3/4-traffic lights? I need a 3/4-traffic light-to-edge-block.
I'm thinking you probably know a lot more about the geometry of this request than you're giving here. What creates the 3/4 TL? Which side does the block need to be on?
It seems unlikely that anyone who knows how to run a Bellman search would run just any old search that matches this request. The odds would be too low that the results would actually be useful.

It's probably to solve this partial:

There are no true period-38 guns right now... so this might be a good starting point:
x = 40, y = 46, rule = B3/S23

I've tried this search a while before on a whim and got no results. (The search space was really small though -- I don't think it's impossible for someone to find something useful.)
EDIT:
Has anyone tried running gencols to rub together copies of different p38's (like that HF hassler, 42P38 or Raucci's p38) to try and make a gun? I think that's the best shot we have.
Can anyone please search for diagonal or oblique ships in my rule B3/S23|B34/S134?
