The FAQ entry for Enhanced Tank consistently refers to the ability as granting an upgrade slot, as does this sentence from it: "An upgrade placed in this bonus slot costs half the normal credit amount." Enhanced Tank has two sentences saying the ability grants an upgrade, not an upgrade slot: "You can add one more upgrade to your armor than its normal maximum number of upgrade slots. If you add this bonus upgrade to heavy armor, you can select an upgrade normally limited to powered armor." Which is correct? If the answer is "slot", how does the ability interact with multiple-slot upgrades that are normally limited to powered armor?

While I agree that it would be nice to have a clarification between slot and upgrade, maybe we should let them write power armor only upgrades that take two slots first?
The two power armor only upgrades both only take a single slot (automated loader and titan shield).
The other two are shared with heavy armor and also take only a single slot (exit pod and phase shield).
That said, the way I'm reading the FAQ and the entry in the class itself seems to point at getting an extra slot.
Titan shields take 2 slots, and automated loader won't work in heavy armor, even with Enhanced Tank.

Ah, you are correct. I confused the Bulk column with the Slots column. Good call.
Power armor, along with a couple of other tactical combat things like Titan Shields are absolutely itching for an equipment supplement to expand the concepts into level 1-20 options of various forms.
PS. I read it as slot granted, but it's definitely FAQ worthy, so button pressed.
