Shutterwarp or some other kind of inertia/momentumless drive, and some
kind of contra-grav that doesn't let you just lift something to orbital
height and drop it would seem to be required. Otherwise known as 'magic'.

Ground-based wormholes or other planet to planet teleportation (also
powered by magic, of course) is another way round it, though if you want
spaceships in your game, they kind of miss the point.
