Timer bug?

[Zogu]

I managed to totally ruin my latest game by pressing the button for accelerated time (you know the ">>" button top left). I was travelling in a nebula with a crappy drive, so I wanted to get to my destination "a bit faster".

Then, once arrived at my destination, I met some Urluqai ships and started combat. But oops, I had forgotten to put the game speed to normal, so midway through battle a window popped up, telling me I was getting late... then a few seconds later the battle was aborted, and I was back to the starmap, but in a close-up zoom mode. The timer displayed "7300 days overdue" and nothing was working. I couldn't click anywhere, or access a game menu, or even press the "Escape" key. I had to shutdown the game using Windows Task Manager.

I really, really don't like the way the timer works. It should revert back to "normal speed" as soon as you reach a star.
