Start thrusting before you disconnect (p) there is a brief moment when the magnetic pull of the connectors turns off. Which hopefully will allow you to get away... Either that or try turning away from it to break that magnetic pull

I have a similar design, while thrusting, wiggle your ship up and down will help you break free

Yeah, the grip is currently too strong, especially for large ships. As said, turn off the connector.

Connector really need a power slider to allow weaker ships to get off it but so it could still used in locking in say, raiderships :)

This tactic often breaks the connector.

Try to tilt your ship by "Q" or "E" it should help too :) But ive only tested it on ship which had connetor on the side of the ship - in your frontal/back setting it might not work - also you might try to build that connector on a piston (on the base side - since adding them on shiips makes them rotate - kinda bug) then disconect the ship and order the piston to fold as quickly as possible :) the ships dampeners should keep it in place

disabling the connector helped me out.
i added it to my toollist (off/on)
I disconnect the connector then switch it off then i can go away without problems.

I tend to use W combined with F (forward and up). When I see a small space between the connectors, I perform a little wiggle left and right. This helps decouple without a blowup.
