Quick, hopefully easy, question. If a farseer is in a transport with no firing points (all of them...), can he use a psychic power, even if it doesn't require line of sight?

Personally, I wouldn't think so... but hey, it's kind of gray.

An important note that Rephistorch forgot, they are not psychic shooting attacks (doom, guide, fortune)

yes, and the power is measured from the Hull of the Serpent/Falcon etc

Any explanation or reasoning behind this decision?

Q. Can a model use a psychic power that is not a
Psychic Shooting Attack if it is embarked in a
transport vehicle?
A. Yes. If the power requires line of sight, this is
still worked out from the vehicle’s fire points
(this will count as one model shooting through
that fire point if the power is used in the
Shooting phase).
If the psychic power does not require line of sight
and has a range or an area of effect that is
normally measured from the model using it, these
are measured from the vehicle’s hull, as
explained in the Embarking section on page 66.
