That's the simplest, I think

Higher speed, better turning number.  Ideally you'd also
want each ship to have her own arrangement of the zones you
mentioned--eg the frigate might be faster but the 74 more
weatherly. That would depend on the wind speed and sea
state, though, so might get just a tad complex. :-\

Heh. My first order of business in that sort of game is to
make alliances.
