Unidimensional spaceship 2 is the second unidimensional spaceship to be discovered, constructed by Hippo.69 as a reduction of Unidimensional spaceship 1. Much of the reduction was the result of a tape-reading mechanism that required only 3 slow glider pairs instead of 8, resulting in a much smaller initial fuse, combined with a more efficient mechanism of rebuilding the fuse.[1]

Compared with the previous unidimensional spaceship, this is 4.66 times smaller by bounding box length, 4.68 times faster by period, and 4.86 times smaller by population.
