P-72 Archimedes Guide, Specs & Features
What to know
The P-72 Archimedes is a luxury snub racer developed by Kruger Intergalactic. For the P-72 Archimedes, high acceleration and precise thruster response reward a pilot who links braking, rotation, and the next gate without wasting momentum.
P-72 Archimedes specifications
Repeatable speed in the P-72 Archimedes
The P-72 Archimedes rewards a pilot who can make the compact four-way racing thrust repeatable from one corner to the next instead of spending the whole lap on a single burst of speed. Light weight, responsive controls, and performance-focused propulsion give the P-72 Archimedes the precision needed across a complete course. A lightweight hull and additional intake give the P-72 the agility and repeated acceleration needed for competition.
The details that decide a full run in the P-72 Archimedes
For the P-72 Archimedes, high acceleration and precise thruster response reward a pilot who links braking, rotation, and the next gate without wasting momentum.
Development note: The P-72 Archimedes is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 3.6.0. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.
P-72 Archimedes' performance systems
The P-72 Archimedes combines the compact four-way racing thrust with low mass, responsive controls, and strong braking for speed that lasts through a full course.
Light weight, responsive controls, and performance-focused propulsion give the P-72 Archimedes the precision needed across a complete course.
A lightweight hull and additional intake give the P-72 the agility and repeated acceleration needed for competition.
Smooth acceleration protects the racing line into the opening corner.
At racing speed, small steering mistakes become expensive.
A snub fighter reshaped around the race line
The Archimedes uses its tiny snub frame for rapid acceleration and precise changes of direction. It is intended to race from a carrier or local base, turning the absence of long-range equipment into lower mass and immediate response on course.
Compact thrust and four-way control without a quantum-drive penalty
Use the compact four-way racing thrust to build speed without compromising the P-72 Archimedes's position for the first turn.
Use smooth control inputs to carry the speed from the compact four-way racing thrust through linked corners and gates.
Check heat, damage, and control response after the run before asking more from the compact four-way racing thrust.
Space Racer in action
The P-72 Archimedes rewards a pilot who can use the compact four-way racing thrust across the whole course rather than chasing one impressive burst of speed.
-
Prepare the P-72 Archimedes for a full lap
The P-72 Archimedes is set up around the hardest braking zone, direction change, or surface transition on the course.
-
Reach the first corner with the Archimedes settled
Early speed helps only when the P-72 Archimedes reaches the first braking point settled and on line.
-
Carry the P-72 Archimedes' speed through the full lap
The P-72 Archimedes' pilot gets the most from the compact four-way racing thrust where braking, rotation, and acceleration have to connect without wasted movement.
-
Use the run to improve the next one
The next setup follows what the timer and the P-72 Archimedes' response showed on the course.
P-72 Archimedes' race-day details
The P-72 Archimedes combines its compact four-way racing thrust with low mass, predictable controls, and stable braking so the pilot can carry speed through the whole course.
The P-72's compact snub frame fits inside carriers such as the Freelancer MAX or Constellation Taurus for transport to the course.
The P-72 Archimedes needs enough thrust response to leave one turn already prepared for the next part of the course.
Control response turns the P-72 Archimedes' acceleration into speed the pilot can keep through the course.
Predictable deceleration helps the P-72 Archimedes rotate cleanly and begin accelerating before the next sector opens.
The P-72 Archimedes turns preparation into repeatable speed
Setup and driver input matter from the launch through the final corner.
Control the P-72 Archimedes at racing speed
The pilot sets up the P-72 Archimedes' compact four-way racing thrust for the course, then links braking, steering, and acceleration into a faster lap.
The pilot tunes the P-72 Archimedes around braking, heat, fuel, and the parts of the course that are hardest to repeat.
The P-72 Archimedes' pilot keeps setup changes measured enough to understand what improved the next lap.
On the P-72 Archimedes, after the run, the pilot reviews braking points, line choice, and how the compact four-way racing thrust behaved before adjusting the setup.
