   Coordinate terms: middleweight spaceship, oblique spaceship

   • 1992 August 13, David Bell, “Spaceships in Conway's Life (Part 1)”, in comp.theory.cell-automata?^[1] (Usenet):

     To begin with and to be complete, I will list the original spaceships. These are the glider, the lightweight spaceship (LWSS), middleweight spaceship (MWSS), and the heavyweight spaceship (HWSS). These were all found very soon after Life was invented by Conway.

   • 1994 May 14, Paul Callahan, “Louis Howell's question of block clearing in life (simple solution)”, in comp.theory.cell-automata?^[2] (Usenet):

     It's a reaction between a glider and a lightweight spaceship spark, nondestructive to the spaceship (so it can be used in puffers):

   • 2008 May 31, Dave Greene, “Life: B37/S23 - A Chaotic Universe.”, in comp.theory.cell-automata?^[3] (Usenet):

     The usual non-glider suspects from Conway's Life (lightweight, middleweight, and heavyweight spaceships) all fail here due to central 7-neighbor OFF cells.
