In the past when a player has touched my ship or I've touched his, but there wasn't a clear overlap of a millimeter or so, I ruled that it wasn't an overlap. I do the same thing with obstacles, and I'm fairly sure I've lost some matches because of that. ;)  But the rules say that you have to overlap in order to be "touching", and in the fuzzy world of placing maneuver templates and ships, it's not always best to try to argue that that half a percent of a millimeter constitutes overlapping or not touching.

If there's ever a disagreement, have your opponent call hits or misses and roll an attack die. Best way to keep the game moving, in my experience.
