Ratfolk ranged flanking

[LLOYDENESS]

The ratfolk get the trait swarming which is:

Swarming: Ratfolk are used to living and fighting communally, and are adept at swarming foes for their own gain and their foes' detriment. Up to two ratfolk can share the same square at the same time. If two ratfolk in the same square attack the same foe, they are considered to be flanking that foe as if they were in two opposite squares.

Is it possible for a ratfolk to gain the flanking bonus using a ranged weapon as long as they are in the same space and attacking the same foe?

Flanking is generally Melee range, I was just curious if two Ranged rats could benefit from this.

[Java Man]

Flanking with ranged weapons provides no bonuses, so sure they are flanking, for no benefit.

[Protoman]

To get the flanking bonus, it has to be a melee attack.

Non-FAQ - flanking only applies to melee attacks.
