braking thrust seems more effective than acceleration thrust.

Acceleration and deceleration with the same number of thrusters has different results. Built a large ship, it has 8 large ion thrusters pointed both forward and backwards. It takes the forward thrusters about 3 times longer to get the ship moving than it does for the backwards thrust to stop it.

i.e. about 3 seconds for the ship to get to 20m/s and about 1 second to return to 0m/s

its an intended ship losing prevention method it was in the old game, kind of. Still completely unnecessary and feels weird Realism for the win!!

I've got ~4300 hours on SE1, I don't remember anything like this. You have ''x' newtons in a direction, it speeds/slows based on the ship mass. Maybe it's in one of the scenarios, I always played survival open world so <shrug>.
