ok tonight i played a game with my buddy and he said that fliers can no longer use ranged attacks when based with another flier. my V starfire the one with RCE wanted to shoot at his V black adam and they were both B2B. he said i couldn't. did i miss something in the rulebook? i know when icons came out that fliers are not allowed to shoot out of adjacentcy.

cheers

From the Icons Rule Book (page 22):

Hovering
Hovering characters can make ranged combat attacks against adjacent opposing characters; however, hovering characters may not make ranged attacks against nonadjacent characters when the hovering character is adjacent to an opposing character. A hovering character may be the target of a ranged attack by an adjacent non-flying character.

The icons rulebook states that a hovering character may make a ranged combat attack against any adjacent character and visa versa. I dont remember nor can I find anyt errata on this. While you can't shoot a non-adjacent character while based, you can shoot the adjacent ones.
