This variant of 3-4 Life, only 2 transitions away from being OT, has a pretty common c/5d spaceship.
Code:
Select all
x = 3, y = 3, rule = B34/S34-ae

Period-40 180-degree reflector.
Code:
Select all
x = 29, y = 29, rule = B34/S34-ae

Using reactions like these,
Code:

x = 236, y = 71, rule = R2,C2,S4,6-9,20,B7-9,18

would it be possible to build a spaceship loop for the small diagonal one, and branching off of that, a puffer?
