probably it is possible to create some kind of beacons and transfer energy in short laser pulses from beacon to beacon.

No, it isn't.Lasers by themselves may lose LOTS of energy.

well, we can see clouds of gas, which a black hole 'sucks' in

My favorite is Sagittarius A black hole.It is really beautiful.

hmm, I think there will be HUGE energy losts during this process

Because the building of Dyson Swarm can get frozen during the process, as the home planet builds it's new rockets and stuff. The rockets are too much expencive and energy-consuming. Also, probably the building might be distant operating, like the series of satellites from Mercury to Earth.

So, actually, the human civilization must first get the maximum out of his current possible sources.And find the better way to travel between planets, than rockets.

oof, I am not a scientist, so my possible solutions might be very naive.But I will try)

Same on Mercury.There are LOTS of solar energy.As Sun is close and Mercury's atmosphere is very rarified it is the best solution for getting energy.

Thanks!

Well, I'm not a professional, but it is assumed(Stephen L. Gillett. Mining the Moon. Analog, Nov. 1983 ) , that on Mercury there are huge deposits of iron ore.Which can be used for the production of mirrors.Also there might be deposits of Helium-3 in Mercury's ground, which, cannot be used...

Well, I mean that fabrics and catapult for mirrors can work on electrical energy.Of course 1 mirror might not be enough, but several can already reflect sunlight to the collector, which can give energy to Mercury.Raw materials can be harvested there.

What are the trophy points and what do they give?

That's why the swarm is a lot better as 1 mirror gives the energy to build the other one.If we use mirrors+catapulting system to send them around the Sun it will not very energy-consuming.Another problem is that they ALL have to follow one vector of their orbit, or they collide into each other.
