'''Copperhead''' is a [[c/10 orthogonal]] [[spaceship]] discovered by 'zdr' on March 5, 2016.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.conwaylife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2057|title=is this c/10 spaceship known?|author=zdr|date=March 5, 2016|accessdate=March 5, 2016}}</ref>

The first synthesis was proposed by Aidan F. Pierce on the day of discovery. An alternative synthesis utilising [[fumarole]] as a predecessor, presented by Tanner Jacobi an hour later, was much more efficient. After optimizations by Mark Niemiec and Chris Cain the total synthesis cost made 22 gliders.

The ship hauls a [[block]] behind it, which makes for interesting reactions involving other ships. [[Dean Hickerson]] built a [[sawtooth]] that uses copperhead's ability to turn a [[heavyweight spaceship]] into a [[loaf]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.conwaylife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2057&start=75#p28119|title=Re: is this c/10 spaceship known?|author=Dean Hickerson|date=6 March, 2016}}</ref> It can also eat gliders and [[middleweight spaceship]]s cleanly from behind.

A copperhead [[gun]] was completed by Alexey Nigin on March 6, 2016.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.conwaylife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2057&p=28103#p28101|title=Re: is this c/10 spaceship known?|author=Alexey Nigin|date=March 6, 2016|accessdate=March 6, 2016}}</ref> A faster gun was constructed one day later.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://conwaylife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=28176#p28176|title=Re: is this c/10 spaceship known?|author=gmc_nxtman|date=7 March, 2016|accessdate= 8 March, 2016}}</ref>

On March 20, 2016, a [[tagalong]] was found. This tagalong had the capacity to be attached to two other identical talaglong, thus allowing for ships of arbitrary size. 30 minutes later, the tagalong allowed to build the first c/10 rake, with 12 copperheads with tagalongs.
