Mod to fix weak connection physics

[Talavar]

  So I built a ship to go to duna, it has 2 tanks that stick out from the sides with thrusters on the rear. However, the docking ports are WAY too flexible and they basically fold in half when I apply the thrusters even a little bit.. while I understand there should be some flexing, they are unrealistically folding at a 90 degree angle.. is there a mod that makes couplers (docking ports) less"bendy"? and more likey to just flex a tiny bit, then break?

There's nothing?

Depends on which version of the game you are running.

Kerbal Joint Reinforcement would do what you want, but there are only unofficial releases for 1.4 and 1.5

See the thread here:  

Otherwise, use AutoStruts sparingly, and autostrut to grandparent

All good things come to those who wait!  Have some patience, sometimes it takes a little while for someone with the answer to come along.

I second and third KJR up there.  It's vital.  I will not play without it.  I haven't tried it with 1.5.x yet, but I don't believe I had any issues in 1.3.x or 1.4.x.

I'm using the unofficial release for 1.5 and it seems to be working fine. I haven't done a ton of stress testing, but during normal launches it seems to work well.
