Staying under the Umbrella

It is pretty common for me to create a battery of defensive guns/missiles sometimes with a star base at the center, but my fleet is forever running to engage the enemy.  What I want is to force the enemy into my blender of destruction and rushing off to engage them prevents that from happening.

Is there a command that can force my fleet to stay parked where I tell them to go?  And if so, what is the command to release them. 

Thanks!

yes, its in the menu area where you make the fleet, I think its the left most or second left most button

As Ryat said, it's the button with the dot inside a circle on the far left in the Fleet menu. Tight keeps the ships close to the fleet. Default is Loose which means they can go far away from the fleet.
