The problem of deceleration exists also for the beamed energy craft, so it’ll probably be built and used to send probes to nearby stars. By the time it reaches those stars, people not yet born probably will have developed something better, like the stuff currently in use by various ETs.

Even project Deadelus didn’t call for deceleration. That called for a flyby of either Barnard’s star or Alpha Centauri.
