I'm a fan and collector, but that doesn't sound familiar from the portion of my collection that I've read through. Do you recall anything else?

    I'm pretty sure it's either The Mote in God's Eye or The Gripping Hand.

    Edit: Checked, and it's most of the last couple of chapters of The Gripping Hand. I fudged some of the details from not having read it in a long time, but the basics are there; spaceships jockeying for strategic advantage across an entire solar system, balancing fuel and orbits, and crews doing their best to withstand painful acceleration.
