15-20mins and loose connection....

Hi all.
Just started my MP endevors about a week ago. Tried a few different servers and keep having the same issue. After what seems (I\'ve never timed it) about 15-20 mins I loose connection to the server and get the little save or dont save option pop up. It doesnt seem to effect the game in anyway, I just get kicked to main menu and I can simply log back in no problem.
I have read that people find an issue with connection when building or in hanger screen....I have currently been spending my cash on the thirdlegion server (it looked nice and new there) building a little trade outpost in the Talison Conflict zone (West of the white hole thing near the carrier there if anyone wants to visit) So I was thinking perhaps this was the issue...but now I notice it happening when trying to travel any great distance. So far I havent been disconnected while on a mission....but then I keep trying to do a particularly hard one and die fast:P
Anyone else finding this issue? Is it a common thing and only realy happens when building stations, traveling for ages or messing in the trade stations? Do you just not get this issue when currently on a mission...in middle of fight?
any light that can be shed would be great as I realy want to get into MP.

I was connected to the USA_NC server for about 5 or 6 hours last night with no disconnects. Mostly exploring & building a few trade stations.

In my experience, it depends a lot on the server. Right now, one of the steadiest servers is USA-NC. I'm in Nevada and do co-op with guys from England and Italy.

The shipyard/hangar disconnect issue was fixed a while back. At this point, the best way to quickly determine where the problem might be is to immediately try to reconnect to the server you lost connection with. If you can't connect to it, then the server may have an issue. If you can reconnect to it, then the problem is likely on your end.

Thanks for the fast replys folks.
Could be my end I guess...cos I can reconnect, prolly somthing to do with router/isp etc

Will give the USA_NC server a go for a whiile see if it makes a diff

I have at least 2 players on my server with a similar problem. They periodically become disconnected.. but the game continues in single player mode.. and does not report the disconnection until they try to chat or build a station.
It seems that if they type something into chat regularly while still connected, it happens less often. Seems to act like it needs a "keep alive" or something...

Maybe it is an inactivity setting on their computers. Just like the sleep mode of the computer! Some programs have inactivity settings that can trigger a disconnect from the internet. I would start checking the Internet activity settings!....
