QuoteYou can suggest 'building tools' which can double as weapons. F.e. Mining Laser and Chainsaw are primary utility, but work for fighting as well.
Industrialcraft needs a more... err... well, it needs more explosions, anyhow. For mining, of course. Nobody ever uses explosives to kill things, because that is just... not how people do things, am I right?
Anyways, moving to the main event, the thing I'm posting about. The rocket propelled mining launcher is effectively an effective iTNT (woops, i meant ITNT, dammit Apple) dispersal device capable of placing detonate-on-contact ITNT to wherever the player decides it shall go. It would be a simple system, and not require EU to function. It is to the mining laser as the jetpack is to the electric jetpack. It would also be more convenient than having to stand next to short-fused ITNT.
The launcher itself would be a simple assembly of reinforced iron and a circuit (no battery necessary). The "capsules" would be as such: 1 ITNT, 1 gunpowder, 4 paper for 1 capsule. Then, either craft the capsule and the launcher together to load it, or hold the launcher in your hand and right click to load a capsule from your inventory.
The contribution this would make to mining efforts everywhere would be enormous, and greatly appreciated. We need an(other) effective mining tool!
