Parallel half-baked knightships were proposed before the first half-baked knightship appeared on the scene, although the actual construction was completed several days later by Chris Cain. This design allows for several slow-salvo construction recipes to be completed in parallel, whereas the first half-baked knightship did all constructions serially.
There are several significant differences in design between the original half-baked knightship and Chris Cain's smaller version. The slow-salvo constructions are done serially in Goucher's design, and an extra glider is used to suppress the salvo that triggers the half-bakery trails.[1]
Consequently, Cain's parallel knightship is much smaller than Goucher's original knightship, both in terms of the population count, bounding box and period. It is also the smallest known example of an oblique spaceship in Conway's Game of Life by any reasonable metric.
