Zero-G combat tactics are fun. However, I understand the gravity of a star
can make your energy-beam (c-beam) weapons miss. I wonder why that is?

Gravity "bends" space-time. It's the same principle that causes black holes to appear black (i.e. we can't see them).
The definition of "straight" is the way light takes. Yes, it makes my head hurt too, thinking about three dimensional space being bent. It is usually illustrated as a tense rubber membrane which you put weights on - that is the more or less two dimensional version. Just expand that to three dimensions. :-)
The only way gravity can cause you to miss a target with an electromagnetic spectrum-based weapon is if you were "aiming" at the target using a method that does not obey relativistic physics.
If you can see a target, you can hit it with a beam of EM energy, no matter the strength of any gravitational effects in play. Your sight was already bent in the exact same way a beam of energy would be bent.
In other words, no, a star's gravity can't make you miss.

But what is Gravity if not debris of change in possibility...the only way to overcome it would be with a complex superpositional structure that de-orbits the existing debris of change in possibility.
Bookmarks for later.

Actually, what causes black holes to appear black is just the fact that a black hole neither emits nor reflects any light; it is a perfect black body. A much better example of a black hole bending space-time is actually the gravitational lensing that accompanies the black hole.

I'm thinking taking Jewelry Design & Fabrication classes at my local
library will be good to learn how to make mini spaceships. An earring
is nearly a Space Base.

It's hard to RPG is space, because nobody can hear your battle cry in space.

On the Sci Fi side of things Bab 5 and BSG had the closest thing to space combat. With minimal friction and very little gravity not hard to change your facing....
I loved BSG.
The original is still my cheezeball favourite, but the remake was excellent.

Gravity makes the target move.
There's this guy in a wheelchair who begs to differ with you on that subject. :)

And when he (almost certainly) turns out to be correct, it will be a really cool observation!

Don't think of Hawking radiation as light-rays, but as "evaporation". i.e. black holes evaporate, and the process by which this happens is through Hawking Radiation.
Incidentally, this evaporation causes the Entropy of the universe to decrease (which is a good thing).
