:x66 (c/2 orthogonally, p4) Found by Hartmut Holzwart, July 1992. Half of this can be escorted by a HWSS. The name refers to the fact that every cell (live or dead) has at most 6 live neighbours (in contrast to spaceships based on LWSS, MWSS or HWSS). In fact this spaceship was found by a search with this restriction.
