SpaceX Starship New Landing Method Somehow SHOCKED the whole NASA...
First of all, they can come closer to the real catch attempt on flight 5. Secondly, they can test the ability to land Super Heavy offshore.
Honestly, several years ago, SpaceX unveiled its intention to land the Super Heavy Booster on a droneship.
Although there are many opposing debates, can't help but mention its great advantages for SpaceX's long-term goals, clearly shown in Starship's Flight 3 in mid-March.
There is likely nothing better than getting the extra performance and increased payload without jettisoning anything like a hot staging ring just by landing downrange.
The location for offshore landing could be a platform in the Gulf of Mexico somewhere, assuming that SpaceX built a Mechazilla tower on said platform. And likely on a larger drone ship than is currently used for the Falcon 9 first stage.

A conventional launch mission will leave the stage with close to as little fuel as possible by the time it detaches in order to be efficient. But it does not make sense to waste a significant amount of fuel, up to 10% to make that return to Boca Chica. That number matters while 80% of the fuel is consumed in the first place and the booster just has 20% remaining for in-flight activities.
However, keep in mind that this is only a reference to the test flight and the reality is much tougher.
Musk partly emphasized it as follows:
""any emissions that are going to particularly to geostationary orbit um or to escape velocity uh anything beyond earth uh would it is likely to need to land on the ship""

Launches to GEO or Earth escape require too much fuel for the rocket to reverse its horizontal velocity and return to the launch site. It would result in additional wear and tear on the booster.
An advantage of ASDS is the vessel can be positioned near the spaceport. So, it’s far cheaper to bring the rocket back on a ship than to fly it back with fuel! So, they can load only as much fuel as they will need to deliver the payload and then mostly fall and glide for a powered landing on the barge.
