The vajra is a item added by gravi-suit mod its an end game muilty tool it hold 1 million eu and has the ability to break any block instantly excluding bedrock, portal block frame and warded glass currently it is disabled and honestly i don't see any reason why (If there's some obvious one like it ignores claims ignore this) but if its disabled purely for balance i think it should be enabled i provided reasons why its not cheep to craft. and the costs don't stop there 3,333 eu per block break 6,666 eu for an attack so it drains a lot of power an enchanted advanced diamond drill can almost ins-ta break stone as it is it wont be much of an improvement just more convenient (if you can power it) diamond jackhammer is instant on stone again its not fun having to just carry 8 different tools to dig everyone can make it so it dose not give any one player an advantage we had the mining laser on and not this i mean really ? feel free to post your own opinions on the matter i hope this tool is at least considered to be enabled Ps. ftb wiki about the vajra http://feed-the-beast.wikia.com/wiki/Vajra
Sk originally disabled it because he thought it was OP, even with the crafting recipe and/or the eu consumption it's still OP to be able to break (almost) everything in 1 hit. He did say that he might enable it when most people are at end-game and/or the server has been reset for a tedious amount of time. Even with that said, it's not needed tbh. As you said, an efficiency V advanced diamond drill will break stone like dirt and for the rest of the blocks, you can just use the chainsaw. And when it comes to carrying the tools; just use a canvas bad or an ender pouch, it's as simple as that. >cheep
i wrote that at midnight cut me some slack on the spelling D= Cheap** breaking something instantly is no more op then shooting lasers that break around 40 blocks per shot and its being re enabled after it respects regions or frame bores that being said no one is forcing you to use if it is enabled and you want to keep using a drill and canvas bag go ahead
TBH, items similar to vajras can be made with anvils and enchanted books. I've found that efficiency 5 on advanced chainsaws/drills can break blocks quickly enough. Also, mining lasers have a lot more practical use in building. I've found explosive mode to be quite useful.
lasers useful building in explosive mode?? .... you mean for teraforming right ? again you can you can use the drills etc im just saying the option to use this awesome tool should be there
That's nice, Cirno. I love the way it was built to the terrain and not the other way around Could I get a tour sometime?
KNOW MY PAIN oh well, it's expensive to craft. BUT i'd rather use chainsaw and drill for exploring and mining than this. since it drains the examplewise gravi even more. i wouldn't use it, if you ask me. so the vajra is only more expensive in either way AND it's hard to spell. >.< i felt free to post the recipe.

I agree with fx on this one. Even though it has a major EU consumption, it would not be a bad addition, since most have the materials for it already. And for those who don't have the materials, they can be easily be obtained.
The thing is, there's also a PvP problem involved. Say you accidentally hit someone, you destroy both their inventory and them, unless there's something in the config to disable destroying their entire inventory. Misclicks do happen sometimes.
pvp is always an issue on modded servers... Thaumcraft's Zephyr sword...easy to pvp with... find someone without a jetpack and send them flying...bam dead....jackpot instant loot, weapons mod's musket---enough said....thing is the only way to prevent accidental pvp is either 1. enable pvp across the server as free game 2. remove all mods and become a plugin server or 3. ban anyone/everyone that kills someone.
