turn off collisions for one... use the transporter for another...
Canon is what people argue exists on ships that don't exist.

The crucial thing to do is use Fleet Orders and command your fleet to "Stop". This will stop your ships completely in their tracks and using the transporter you can beam over, fly them to wherever you want them and they wont fly away. :) Thats if you have KM 1.0.

Only those whose lives are brief can imagine that love is eternal. You should embrace that remarkable illusion. It may be the greatest gift your race has ever received."

Or you could use the Edit mode (eg. open Console and type "Edit()" )

besides, I found it more fun to fly the ships in position.
