Help with B26/S08?

B26/S08 is an exploding rule; however, I have found quite a few oscillators and spaceships, as well as a puffer. This rule is similar to Live Free or Die, but the B6 changes behavior on the more complex scale, and S8 on the more simple scale. For example, a 3x3 box in B26/S0 is a spark, but in B26/S08 it becomes an "unwalled" exploder; and the P10 in B2/S08 (or H Heptomino) is a large spark, but in B26/S08 it is a P10 oscillator.
Anyway, I was wondering if any of you could help me find more spaceships/puffers or a P8 or higher oscillator.

There is a nice small p17 oscillator made from colliding two of the small light-speed ships:
Code: Select all
x = 7, y = 4, rule = s08/b26

Curiously, this is a p19 oscillator in B2/S0.

Actually, wouldn't the spaceship with the double diamond spark be a geminoid? A domino evolves into 2 of these, facing opposite directions; and a domino features as the front (in the leftmost spaceship) and creates another in the same direction, while the back duoplets "eat" the one going the opposite direction.
Also, on an unrelated note, I've noticed that the "spark ship" with the detached back is far more common than the one with the attached back; in fact, I found the sparkship with the back detached at the front of the first explosion that I simulated, while I found the attached ship while searching for a P8 oscillator or predecessor.

Found a tiny p8 oscillator:
Code: Select all
x = 8, y = 6, rule = s08/b26

There's also a family of oscillators from LFOD which works in this rule:
Code: Select all
x = 18, y = 37, rule = s08/b26

Here is a small puffer that nobody else had mentioned, that leaves only dots:
Code: Select all
x = 5, y = 6, rule = B26S08

I have a large collection of patterns in Live Free or Die at lfod.wikispaces.com. Some larger spaceships that work:

Have you seen this puffer?
Code: Select all
x = 10, y = 7, rule = B2/S0

Yes, that's what I call the "double dot puffer." It's the most common naturally occurring puffer in LFoD.

Here are some puffers from LFoD that work, including Josh Ball's c/5 backward moon rake, plus p4, p6, p7, p8 and p9 c puffers.
