The whole Battletech game system usually models space travel very good.
Even their model of FTL Travel is rather plausible for a future society (Large Jump Ships that spend vast amounts of energy to create Mini-Wormholes and use them to instantly travel to another location [up to 30 lys away])
The many novels that are based on the BT system don´t mention the model of space travel too much, however, as most important battles take place between Battlemechs on the surface of planets and Jump-/Dropships are used mainly for transport purposes (at least until the clans arrive) and thjerefore most 80% of the stories takes placve on the surface of a planet or moon
