This is only the beginning, I plan to also show some spaceships with this speed in these OCA.
 
More information. Maybe add information about reactions in Life which travel at this speed - e.g the burning of a crabstretcher's output used in the Speed Demonoid.

c/3 diagonal is a diagonal speed that is equivalent to one third of the speed of light.

In Conway's Game of Life or any other rule without an B0, B1, B2, S4 or S5 transition, no spaceship can travel at this speed through a vacuum. [1] However, it is attainable in many other rules that do have an S4 or S5 transition, including Day & Night, 3-4 Life, Move, Star Trek, Geology, Dance and Castles.
