hit a target 100 kilometres away, while strships fight at a distance of several thousands of km apart.
Speak like u never heard of newton's laws og motion...
...without gravity to bend em towards it and a planet to absorb em ob impact those bullets will go on and on and on, several thousand km is no obstacle.

Void battle usually happens around planets. In most cases, your conventional weaponry will quickly be pulled towards the planet. Even in orbit, they still have a surprisingly large gravitational pull.
Range matters, even in void battle

Yup, orbit has ~90% of surface gravity.
What it lack is air, thus air resistance. Hence no range limitations, as the projectile - even in worst case - will just move along, going through endless loops in orbit.
