Summary0013723: Zoom out when fast forwarding
DescriptionWhen you do something which takes a set amount of time (not a dispatch mission, where you control the speed) and it fast forwards , it does so at the current zoom level.

This means if you're zoomed in you can't actually see much.

If it zoomed out and centred to show the whole star system when doing these fast forward replays, that would greatly enhance their usefulness as you could see everything that was going on.

(As a side note: Sometimes it seems the fast-forward doesn't happen, the date stays the same and I don't know the conditions as to why - I know someone else already has a bug about that though. If it helps, I got it brokering trade... I'll see if I can attach a save to the other bug.)

* Fixed an issue where time would not jump forward a few months after political deals and other non-combat scenarios where it said it would.

Not feeling the zoom-out thing, because it would really make it jarring for the player and that's a bit tricky to calculate. These timeframes are short enough that there's not much to see as it blips by anyhow.
