The visual effect is very nice, I like it a lot. I just wish it dug a bit faster, but it IS faster and covers more area than the stock diggers in the game, so I am pleased.

It doesn't seem to give as much gold as using some other diggers, but I do love the effects. It looks amazing.

Updated!
The Lunar AR is now available for download.
Coming soon - the Lunar MG!

I love that thing about plasma cores. It makes it feel like I'm shooting pure science. But plasma isn't solid, it's a separate state of matter.

Exactly. That's why they're plasma cores.
When the cores hit the enemy, they shatter and release a tiny bit of plasma, thus causing damage.

Ah. So, solid, shatters, releases red-hot alternative gas? Makes sense.

I am quite good at pulling stuff out of my own ass.

By far this is the greatest piece of work I've seen come out of someone's hindquarters (you can quote me on that). This looks really pretty and the burst fire is really cool.

Thanks, and I will be sure to quote you on that.
The MG I have in development fires in absurdly fast 2-shot bursts, but at a high rate of fire for a strange sort of effect.

New weapon? MUST TEST. Also, nice sprite for it.

UPDATE!
All of the previous weapons have been tweaked with a new visual effect.
The Lunar MG has been added to the arsenal.

So can we bank on a an actor rolling in any time soon?

It'd probably be a recolor of the Coalition Heavy with various tweaks and some visual differences.
And that'd be shameful, so that's more likely a no.

Resprites are only shameful if you consider them the best actor ever. Really, most actors in Cortex Command are resprites.

I suppose. I'll probably slap some together just to have a full faction of sorts.
