When you say your connection drops, that makes me wonder if maybe your router is the problem. I don't know if you are aware that many wireless routers have a built in firewall that sometimes mistakes legitimate traffic as something that should be blocked. The fix for this is to do port triggering in your router's setup so that traffic is allowed on the ports that the game uses.
From the game's FAQ's:

Can I play Pirates through a network proxy or firewall?
Yes, but you will have to configure the proxy or firewall to allow traffic on port 80, 443, and 667. You will also need to add PiratesOnline.com to either the safe or exception list.

To do this, you can look up instructions on port triggering for your router's model number on the manufacturer's site, or go to portforward.com and look up your router's model number for a step by step tutorial that shows you how.
If you've already tried this, or this is not the issue, just ignore me
