no bridge = 1/2 movement outside combat.
no bridge or aux con = 1/2 movement inside combat
no lifesupport = 1/4 movement
no crew quarters = 1/2 movement.

HAVING a MC = having bridge/LS/CQ.

Note that a baseship with one bridge, one LS and one CQ remaining still moves at normal speed, even though it seems to be down to 20% of its crew.

Note also that if a ship requires zero lifesupport/crew quarters, you will still suffer the penalty of having no LS/CQ.

I know of no way to modify the penalties.

One trick that I have used is to give lifesupport and crew quarters abilities to other components.
One of the P&N racial traits gives "ships require 1 fewer lifesupport and crew quarters".
I do that by adding lifesupport and crew quarters abilities to the bridge component.
