lets say no more excessive extension through states, it kinda takes the fun out of the game :(
Agreed. Here is a possible new rule taking this into account:
Do not use multiple states to trivially increase of a pattern. An example would be a glider that switches between live states without any dead cells transforming into live cells or live cells transforming into dead cells over multiple generations and with an obvious pattern.

This implies that this 'slow glider' c/8d spaceship is invalid, because the rule B/S012345678 rule does not change the glider.

It is hard to find a spaceship at a bit slower speed.
don't post about how you can't find a ship 😭

do one of these things instead:
- try for more than 2 minutes and find a ship that's slightly slower
- try for only a bit more than 2 minutes and find a ship that's moderately slower (i think everyone would be fine with up to a 50% decrease)
- look on the forums for a ship someone else discovered/engineered (only if you think it looks cool though)
- just don't post

edit: i see that you have edited your reply to a ship with euclidean speed of 0.11785113, so here's a 2c/19o with euclidean speed 0.105263158

I do not care who discovered the spaceship. It is often hard to discover new spaceships of a specific velocity. You can look on the forums, (for example, in Other Cellular Automata) for potentially interesting spaceships.

All I care about is whether the spaceship is adjustable. If it is, and it is not in its minimal form, then I consider that spaceship to be invalid.

While the rules of the game may or may not allow or require posting spaceships discovered by someone other than the author of the post, that's up to whatever the involved ppl agree to follow,
saying that you "do not care who discovered the spaceship" is likely to come across as avoiding the need to acknowledge sources of already-known objects.

In general, if you are posting some object, component, reaction, construction that was discovered by someone other than yourself, then please acknowledge the source from which you got the thing (add a link, mention the discoverer(s)). This applies in any other discussion as well.

how about as a challenge we use only our own spaceships for the remainder of the round? doesn't have to be an all-out rule but for this round yes because people seem to be starting nuclear wars over using other people's spaceships

It is (6,1)c/20. The speed notation shouldn't be too hard to memorize.
