The Coe ship is the fifth most common spaceship after the heavyweight spaceship. It was the first period-16 c/2 orthogonal spaceship to be discovered; by Tim Coe in October 1995. It works as a puffer engine because it produces a long spark behind it as it moves.

Despite its small size, it never appeared in a soup until 2015 when apgsearch was devised. By doing so, it became the first naturally occurring non-period-4 spaceship to occur in Life out of an asymmetric random starting pattern.[1] A second Coe ship appeared in June 2016. This makes it the fifth most common naturally-occuring spaceship that is not a flotilla. However, the Schick engines and the copperhead have appeared in symmetric soups.

Just a few of the many rakes and puffers which can be powered by the Coe ship [2]
