You'll probably have to first assemble a setting that doesn't work anything like real space before it makes any sense.

Or at least a retro-tech one. Heinlein's Citizen of the Galaxy has a subs in space feel where programmig the missile correctly was a huge life or death deal.

It was also written early in the Univac Age and doesn't make much sense with more modern technology.
