Emphasis mine. He didn't say it was there, he said it might be there. As in, It's just a guess....

Ahh ok. Missed that May. LOL

May was last month.....It's June now......

Huh? Are you saying soaring characters cannot attack characters on the ground? I thought that they could, but their range was halved.

Nope. Soaring characters may only interact with other Soaring characters. (the only exception that I know of is Barrier. Barrier from a soaring character affects Grounded figs normally)

Ref: Marvel Rule book Pg. 12 under soaring.

Soaring characters can not attack non-soaring figures at all but non-soaring figures can attack soaring characters at half range. This was done for a game balancing purposes.

Oh, I had no idea.

I almost never soar, but this is still good to know.

As super groovy dude (oh, wait, I mean Psylockeslover :-) pointed out, it's a guess.

Actually, it's not even a guess - I'm not making predictions about what will or won't be in the new rules - simply saying it's a possibility. Jon L said that it was a major rewrite - so it's possible that it will include MORE than just integrating the current FAQ rulings into a more comprehensive and clear set of rules - they MAY actually be changing some things for balance purposes (after all, they did it with Mage Knight, or so I've heard - I don't play that game, so don't know for sure).
