I thought the point of EbonStar was to avoid the gravity of the Black Hole?
On later levels there is also an additional amount of gravity which affects
you no matter where you are. I don't think that starts until around level 30
or so. I think I made it to level 70 once. The game has a lot of nifty features
and I was still seeing new stuff at such high levels. Unfortunately, when
playing with friends things usually deteriorate into small wars pretty
quickly. ;) I would have to guess that your problem was more likely to be not
hitting the right keys to avoid getting swallowed by the EbonStar.
