Found a small-ish period-4 c/4 orthogonal spaceship using WLS. Not sure of any possible applications but it doesnt seem like there's a lot of c/4 ortho spaceships.
<code/>
POTY ?

This ship was found by Hartmut Holzwart on August 15 or 16, 1992. It is present in David Bell's Spaceships in Conway's Life (Part 4) article (available
here). It can also be found in most spaceship collections, including the
moving object collection,
knightt results, and
lots-of-spaceships.

Removing an MWSS from
this pattern produces a puffer/rake whose gliders collide in two different ways to make a honey farm and a block respectively, with one final glider turning the honey farm into two more blocks:
