Looking at the behavior I agree. I'll do some searches for Catagolue later today.

EDIT: Apparently my apgsearch is averaging at like 35 soups per second with this rule, so my hauls aren't gonna add much. But we'll see.
I could've chose a better username, but oh well.

Still learning the ropes of cellular automata, focused on one OCA at a time. My current interest is B35/S126 and range-two LTLs.

A suprisingly rare spaceshp which AFAIK is the first 3c/8 in the entirety of CA

Not even remotely true, 3c/8 ships have been known for many years even in just 2 state rules. In all of CA, every speed under the neighborhood's speed limit is easy to construct with enough states. Here's a 3-cell example in INT:

Code: Select all

x = 0, y = 0, rule = B2ce4c/S01c2n4c

Yes:

Code: Select all

#R B2-an3jy4cirty5aik6ace8/S12ikn3-aik4-eijnt5-jy6an78
!
# [[ RANDOMIZE ]]
I am currently looking for a better version of this rule (less chaos, more ships).
EDIT: Here are the 3 rules that aren't explosive, out of the 32 I've tested:

Code: Select all

B2-an3jy4cirty5aik6ace8/S12ikn3-aik4-eijnt5-jy6an78
B2-an3jy4ciqrty5aik6ace8/S12ikn3-aik4-eijntw5-jy6an78
B2-an3jy4ciqrtwy5aik6ace8/S12ikn3-aik4ackryz5-jy6an78
EDIT2: I've tested the 3Y syntheses in each rule and found that none of them produce any (usable) ships. The first produces a ship but it is on the same path as another:

Code: Select all

x = 319, y = 148, rule = B2-an3jy4cirty5aik6ace8/S12ikn3-aik4-eijnt5-jy6an78
