A SMOS (Spaceship Made Of Spaceships) is a spaceship in a cellular automaton, consisting of multiple other spaceships colliding with each other, causing a reaction to place on where all of the spaceships are regenerated separately, but with a displacement value. Such spaceship conglomerations can be, on rare occasions, SMOS'ed again together to create a SMOSMOS (Spaceship Made of Spaceships Made of Spaceships). The ship used in the SMOS must also work as a normal spaceship by itself.
Example

Stricter Definition of SMOS
A stricter definition of SMOS requires the ships used in the SMOS to be allowed to go through 1 full oscillation cycle before interacting with the other.
