I've had this problem for some time and havent had any luck finding an answer to my problem:
I often hijack Space Pirate ships early game to farm them for resources. Usually I would do this by hand, hacking each gun and then grinding them ship down slowly by hand once made harmless. I want to know how to use the BaR for this. I get you have to build it on the ship once aboard, but how do I get the BaR to grind the enemy ship? I was poorly educated about the grinding color and how to paint the enemy block you want grinded. As far as I able to tell you cannot paint enemy block, so how to you paint the enemy ship for grinding?? I'm so confused.. Someone please bless my witless self.
