The Normandy might make a bigger target, but it's also being piloted by Joker. My issue isn't really with Harbinger's accuracy or lack thereof; it's that the Normandy - one of the Alliance's top-line ships - dropping out of the battle to pick up two people, without even dropping off reinforcements as it does, is a little silly, and from a Doylist perspective doesn't really add anything that a regular shuttle wouldn't have.

I guess it does give the Normandy something cool to do that it didn't really have in the original cutscenes, but in that case they should have at least had Joker take a few potshots at Harby or something as he took off.

Like I said, it's hardly a critical issue, and I really liked that scene overall.
