How come the angle of the airbrake isn't reflected in brake force?

When I'm building a ship and adding airbrakes; it just increases the brake force in all directions according to the engineer. Why don't airbrakes only push against the direction they are facing like the arrows suggest that they do?

when medium airbrakes can be mirrored maybe itll make sense(skinnier end faces forward and points... DOWN?!?!?!!, but doing the exact same on the opposite side it faces up-_-), based on the image in inventory it shows the thicker end flaps out to increase drag, so both are wrongXD, good thing those windflap-armor Ls have proper direction or do they, dun dun dun<_<

on the other hand ships would look like frankenbots if you had to put 4 of every brake in every direction(including down, which would be suicide since hover reaction height is crap

Air brakes are not finished yet.

 

It could be best to build your ship with the notion that the arrows will come into play "at some time when they get around to making them work". Otherwise you have to re-engineer your ships later.
