Summary: 

Since the phasor beem is limited in its speed of propogation to the speed
of light one can only assume that as with any weapon fired from a moving
point at another moving point one would aim for a place where the target
would be when the beam arrived at that point.
sort of like tossing a pop can out the window of a moving car trying to hit
a passing garbage truck. The beam is straight only because we are viewing it
from a relativistic viepoint. If youwere watching from exactly behind the
point of projection the beam would appear to twist wiggle and curve
wildly on its way and you would wonder if the saki supply was getting
lower with each pasing shot.
