Capturing asteriod belt

from Sins Forums
I read that a scout ship or colony ship could capture resources in an uncolonizable asteroid belt ("vulnerable, can be captured"), but what is the procedure? I tried attack and move to withourt success and there does not seem to be a "capture" action button. I am missing something.

The Vasari scout, and the advent and TEC colonizer all have this ability. It's on autocast by default, but you have to wait for the ship to accure 60 antimatter points before it will use the ability. The ability is mapped to hotkey W by default.

The range is limited, so jump it in, right click on the resource to get it to go there, and set the ability to enabled by right clicking on it. Or click the ability and target the resource.

It does sometimes take time to do.
