The superheavy has no landing legs, so it can't land on any old droneship. The only way to recover the booster to catch it with the chopsticks.
well, lol, there was never 'any old drone ship'.
come on, do you think it's just a dumb barge with nothing on it? no telemetry, no guidance systems, just a chunk of shit floating in the sea?
so build a gantry, put out some outriggers for stability and stick yo silly fuckin chopsticks on these.
this is nearly as silly as orbital data centers.
