I meant how the ships were compromised for vector and cinematic and what
that means in design terms?  How does this compromise make them less
useful for the one and/or the other mode?

Page 19 quoted:
ADS vehicles MAY fire at ground targets if they do NOT currently have
their
sensors active for defence use; in this case they may engage with direct
fire during their own activation turn as for any normal ground vehicle.

So that leads to the following table:

Sensors?      Can fire in own activation?
Active	      No firing!
Inactive      May fire.

I may have said it the other way around.
