I don't think they're confident enough they can predict everything beforehand so the situation is right for them to pull the trigger on command, and it's too uncertain waiting for an environmental cue...
Anything can be a trigger – with 11th fleet it was when Filareta ordered “strike the wedge” & Daniels activated. For Crandal it could have been the same – she says “strike the wedge” & Yoink-POW!
Arnold Giancola was just flying threw the right area when he "activated". considering what happened to Daniels I think the Manty experts were a little short on its capabilities.
Correction: Giancola was killed in a gen-you-wine aircar accident. Grosclaude was the one who was killed by way of nano-assassins forcing him to fly into a cliff face at Mach 1.
