Most movies do not speed much time on deceleration sequences (one exception 2010). Looks like the Promo engines are VTOL and may rotate into reverse for braking instead flipping the ship around (180’) or using some other braking method. Maybe RS will show us something slightly new in this one?

It appears the thrusters can move 180 degrees. This reverse thrust is the most plausible, and I wouldn't be disappointed if it goes this route. Its practical, even in the distant future.
