Sorry, had to comment.

For the first, surely its inertia would be too great for humble gravity to make much difference? Consider how many times faster than sound it would have to be so the enemy can't evade.

For the second, lightning only works because ionised channels form in the air- in space, charge is 'stuck' on an object, and lightning can't occur unless the ships touch (where it will spot-weld them together).
