I believe you only need one bridge/crew quarter/life support for a ship to work properly, but you won't be able to save the design if the ship needs more than one of each. (Except if you have a MC obviously)

Exactly, Alneyan. The extra LS/CQ required by large hulls only applies during design, not during combat. The MC obviates the need for any LS/CQ during design. The move penalty is avoided by having just one component with the LS or CQ ability.

You only lose movement when you have either no working MC on the ship, or you have 0 non-destroyed of Bridge, LS, or CQ (each is treated separately, for different amounts of movement loss). If you have a ship design that requires 30 LS and CQ (in a mod, ofc), then you have to put that many on the ship to make a design (assuming no MC). You get no penalty to movement as long as you have at least 1 LS and at least 1 CQ. Having 29 of each destroyed on that ship leaves you with full movement.
