Speed builds are still viable for combat, I use a like 10.09k hp brig cause of warship archaic sail and I just never get hit so it doesn't matter. This only applies if you are competent in ship combat though.
Turning stat is underrated as fuck, to be very fuckin' honest. You can just dance your enemies to fucking doom, I can't fucking stress this fuckin' enuff, it saved my fucking ass way too many fucking times. ... Good video :DDD
