Yeah, they could find somewhere to hide in space and snipe with impunity. But, think about how, when important leaders and such go to give a speech, they have their security team clear the entire area to make sure it isn't used by snipers. How cool would it be...
Cool ass scenario: It's a nuke round. Some asshat up and went and called the shuttle. The captain needs to get to escape pronto. Security is ordered to clear the entire area around escape. Little did they know, one of the officers going to the pods was replaced with a Syndicate! While in space, the operative slips on his space suit, and cuts all power to the pod. The other officer inside dies within a short amount of time. He reports "All clear in space." He maneuvers the pod to the perfect position, waits for the captain to reach the crowd of escape, sights in, and lets a shot fly. A window shatters, and the captain's arm explodes into pink mist. People are running around screaming 'SNIPER', the HoS is screaming 'GET A GOD DAMN MEDIC OVER HERE'.
