I completely agree with you paul, there are so many explanations possible ...
However to satisfy everyone i use the next killer explanation:
This series of ships are from a very very very advanced alliance of species, in
fact every ship had a elaborate AI making it an entity by itself.
As a consequence every imaginable drive and techonolgy are built in, so
depending the need this craft does or does not follow classical physics...
it has manoeuvering thrusters, classical rocket drive, hyper engines (passing
through hyperspace), warp drive (bending space), gravitational acceleration
drives (a gravitational source is projected in front of the schip), a quantum
slipstream drive, an improbability drive and a temporal engine ... Finally the
imagination drive (allowing to use whatever physics theory needed ;-) )
seriously, the ship does have no problems moving, i know cause i made it ;-)

Well, it could be some sort of gravitic propulsion which applies a force which is located outside the engine, or it could simply be that the engine constitutes the majority of the mass and itself has a non-symetrical internal distribution that (...)
