Multiple Power Cores and Power Core Housing

[james014Aura]

(the question is, which way is right: do ships of size huge and larger automatically have room for more power cores, or are they just allowed to take more housings? Is it "Medium and Large" or was that a typo in the PDF and it should be "Medium and larger")

The way I've seen it done here (aka: I did a search for this question) has, you have to have the power core housing bay for a second (or more) power core, despite ship size. Which is confusing me, because:
[Hide="In-depth"]
Page 296 of the CRB PDF, downloaded Sep. 1
"Each Large and smaller ship has room for only a
single power core by default, but Medium and Large starships
can be fitted with an extra power core housing (see Expansion
Bays on page 298)."

The previous interpretation of that I saw thought it was "Medium and larger" starships that can get a power core housing.

(And then lists X power cores per ship size after)

Id say its just there to tell you that anything smaller than Medium is unable to use an expansion bay for a second power core.

The capital ships coming with multiples i would say is just a design feature and doesn't cost any of their expansion bays. For being 10000+ feet long they are still woefully small expansion bay wise already no need to cut into that even further

but thats just my feelings from reading it over a few times trying to get a handle on the ship rules
