Is there an opposite of the "Punch It" Pilot only maneuver to handle rapid deceleration?

I haven't see it but I'd just allow your PC to do it using the same Talent. It's not something thats likely to break the game or anything.

I've not seen it, but there are ways that it could be handled narratively. Kill the engines, spin the ship around, and fire them again in the opposite direction. It'd definitely put strain on the ship, and I'd even venture to say that it would inflict more system strain than punching it.

I would agree and would even consider it an action rather than a maneuver.

I guess I'm thinking about how in the speeder chase Luke put on the brakes, and the Scout Troopers flew right by. I'm also looking at the case where you are about to head into an asteroid field and you REALLY need to pull up!

Driver and Squadron Leader have the Full Stop talent. It does exactly what you are asking for.

So as per another debate, the same thing could be done by anyone else, its just that its a Pilot Action instead of a maneuver right?

I don't think there is, but the talent should be called "Would it help if I got out and pushed?"

Seems to me that "Punch It" is the only action that has the potential to change speed more than one step in one maneuver. "Accelerate/Decelerate" is the pilot only action that allows speed changes without strain, but it only moves in one step increments from 0 (stopped) to the maximum ship speed. (p 245-6 AoR)

Missed that. If the OP isn't using AoR they could grab this one and drop it into the Pilot Trees for the same cost.

Driver is also an Explorer career spec from the Edge Explorer sourcebook: Enter the Unknown.

The talent is in Enter the Unknown (p. 30), but it seems really expensive for what it does at 25 XP. The shortest path to it is also 100 XP (including Full Stop). However, if you are going into Driver from the Pilot Spec, I'm sure you'll already have Full Throttle plus the Improved and Supreme Versions, so you can skip right over them and buy a rank of Grit (10XP) and Defensive Driving (always nice, 20XP) along the way before picking up Full Stop.
