Apparently there is a 3 second lag too, so I bet it's better to turn (left, right, left right) than going straight with that kind of lag if you don't have a clear idea where you want to go.

Also the drone boats have different objectives, so if there us a filming-boat, it seems logic it'd turn a lot.

Wow if it's really that high, then organizing an attack with 10 drones is extremely impressive!

I'd have hoped that the lag would be lower, because Starlink has a lower orbit than geosync satellites. My hunch would've been 100ms one way, for a complete round-trip delay of 0.5s at most.

I'd bet that after starlink was disabled once mid operation, they'd rather eat a donkey's dick than rely on Musk's ass again.
