If your maneuver template is touching an obstacle, or your ship's endpoint is touching an obstacle, then you have "overlapped an obstacle".

This is different for overlapping ships -- your maneuver template can cross over a ship just fine (ships fly over/past each other a lot in this game and it doesn't affect them). It's the final position of your base that matters. As long as your final position doesn't overlap a ship, then you're not counted as overlapping a ship.

Also note that it's just your template and final position that matter for obstacles. If your ship's base would sweep over an obstacle during the maneuver, that doesn't matter.
