What:
Much like purchasing Modules, would like the option to purchase a single critical space added to any one single mech location. For example, select a mech in garage, enter mech lab load out, select Equipment tab, select a mech location, drag/drop Critical Space expander/addition item into last/bottom Empty critical space. The result being that single empty critical space is then 2 critical spaces.

Balancing:
Could be used as a balancing feature that select mechs variants may potentially have this item added like some mechs can have ECM while most cannot.

Reason:
Aside from balancing to make less effective mechs more desireable and competitive, there are mech variants that have limited hard points in locations that just 1 more critical space would allow that single weapons hard point to mount a desired weapon.

Justification:
The lower mounted hard points on some mechs makes the weapons fire far more restrictive than other mechs. The Hunchback and Atlas for example have arm weapons that fire from the waist level instead of upper body origin. A feature to raise/lower arms is one possible improvement to address the concern, the option to mount a desired weapon in a different location like an Artemis SRM4 requiring 2 critical spaces instead of 1 would then be able to fit into an expanded location.

Thanks for considering my suggestion.
