The idea for this is good. The actual execution while playing is bad.

Absorbing enemy bullets, and giving the player a chance to power the Drop more safely sounds great. But this is extremely unreliable, especially versus hit scan weapons, and enemies Nova must absolutely look out for; Ballista and Nullifiers. It is also useless against infested.

You will never be in a predicament where Antimatter Absorb is helping you more than an unmodded Antimatter Drop. The damage that enemies contribute is marginal, even if multiple lvl 90 heavy gunners are unloading into it.

...Now if it actually absorbed player fire too or allowed you to detonate with a second button press...
