acceleration vs deceleration with dampeners on

While flying back to my base to unload before retaking the mission (70km away) I found that accelerating my ion thruster miner took 30km to get up to 1080 km/hr, however on deceleration (dampeners on) with the exact same thrust in the opposite direction only took about 10km.

Super Dampeners are on by default.

You can disable them in the world’s advanced settings (Load → Select your world → Advanced Settings—the cogwheel in the center).

I have even more rediculous example of dampeners "bug":

If you will load 110% of take over weight on Verdur planet, then turn OFF dampeners and pull all throttle UP - you will stay on planet - overload. But if you will turn ON dampeners and pull all throttle UP - you will succesfully go to space with 110% of weight on board. Dampeners creates a vacuum above your ship pulling it up ? :)
