Copperhead is a c/10 orthogonal spaceship discovered by 'zdr' on March 5, 2016.[1]
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.[2]
A copperhead gun was completed by Alexey Nigin on March 6, 2016.[3]
