I don't use farseers all that often in my Eldar army, so I'm not boned up on these aspects of the rules. Can he use his psychic powers while in a transport? I recall that the argument was no, because he's not technically on the table, but wasn't sure if that was the case or not. Thanks in advance for the help.

He can use powers but it depends on the power, if it requires line of sight he may not be able to use it if it is not a PSA. See Njal stormcaller's abilities.

I believe that has been FAQ'd in a few codicies, and the answer has been no.

If it requires LoS he can't use it (PSA or not)- none of the Eldar vehicles have firing points.

There's no restriction on using a power that doesn't require LoS.
Please cite a FAQ saying otherwise.

Yes you can, see the rulebook FAQ

You cannot use PSAs as they require a fire point, something eldar lack, and you cannot cast powers on units inside transports other than the one your psyker is embarked on

Any of the powers that state "X unit within Y inches of the farseer gets Z effect" may still work and you resolve the distance from the hull of the transport. So the powers Doom, Fortune and Guide may still be used when the Farseer is in a transport. None of those powers require LoS and are not PSA.

Not at all your bad; Nos is currently codex-correct, you are technically correct.

If the Eldar are ever given a transport with firing points, you will be correct.

If you are playing in an Apoc game and put the farseer in a rhino, chimera, Ardcased Battle/looted wagon(any transport with fire points), or any open-topped vehicle, you are completely correct.
