The type of motion compensation you suggest requires the vessel to be underway and I don’t think trying to land on a moving target will make things better. A combination of flume tanks and hydraulic motion compensation may work better but the at sea dynamics are really difficult to overcome.

Actually it has the ability to land in motion now, per sey, as it is descending down through a "river of air", and must compensate. Landing on a moving platform, especially one moving with the wind could actually make things easier under certain circumstances.
