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.
