#C From: "David I. Bell" <dbell@canb.auug.org.au>
#C Subject: 309 cell spacefiller

#C Yes! Here is 309 cells. It's amazing to me how many people can overlook
#C the simple trick of making standard spaceship-like parts into LWSS versions!
#C It's the excitement, I suppose (and the search program which loves the larger
#C versions of spaceships). So now do I win the prize for the smallest one
#C of these found so far? :)
#C
#C I had a quick look for spaceships in the spacefiller field which travel
#C parallel to the rows at c/2 or less, and found nothing. But my search was
#C nowhere near complete.
#C
#C I have been trying to shrink those large c/2 spaceships to find a smaller
#C spacefiller, but no luck yet. However, I did find a symmetrical connection
#C to replace them, so that the spacefiller has symmetry on both axes. I can
#C post this if anyone is interested, but it uses two c/2 spaceships on each
#C end to support a c/2 component that attaches to the spacefiller, so it is
#C much larger.
