I use Algos with blasters.

I'm on a belt with 3 cruiser rats. I see this guy https://zkillboard.com/character/91310024/ in local. Tormentor on long d. Need to finish at least 1 rat to reduce their damage. Tormentor on short d. Returning hammerheads, deploying hobgoblins, need to change to faction ammo. Tormentor on grid, landed at 0, i'm ~20 away. Orbit 500, AB on, lock. Activate webs, drones. He burns to me and in range and i still have standard antimatter loaded. 5 seconds is long time, let's shoot now and overheat guns. Activate neut. Shields gone, activate and overheat armor repairer. Well, that's all, i look at range and my hitpoints and his hitpoints and do nothing. When I have 30% sctructure he warps away with same structure left.
I think he was buffer tanked. I did not see his drones. I should have changed to faction antimatter, i lost more damage over time of fight. I could deactivate webs when he was in structure to secure kill. I was waiting for a fight, but i was not well prepared. I took this fight because there were 2 more rats to kill on the belt.

I'm doing something docked at the station. Gwathela is attacked by Harbinger on a belt. I jump into Griffin, warp at 50 and want to jam, but Gwathela warps out. Harbinger does not have scram or point? I'm confused.
Gwathela tackles harbinger on another belt. I'm absolutely sure that we can not kill battlecruiser with frigate and destroyer. I warp at bookmark at the belt and look what's going on. There is clone soldier on the belt. Gwathela takes damage, warps away. Then i see how harbinger can not kill clone soldier and warps away. I'm very confused. I kill clone soldier.
We warp between belts and station, we can not engage him on the station.
Gwathela tackles harbinger again on a belt. There is battleship rat on the belt. We orbit harbinger at 500. He deploys warriors. I double web warriors, we kill them. He deploys hammerheads. We kill them. Now all fire on harbinger. We are slowly breaking his reps. Harbinger explodes.
His fit was bad and rat did 50% damage. Probably he lost all cap, at the end of the fight he used nosferatu on me. His long or medium range weapons could not hit small targets at close range, without drones he was helpless.

I'm on Dastryns gate with 2 bc rats. I kill them and when i loot them, i see gate flash, flashy name in local, tristan breaks cloak. He yellowboxes me, deploys hobgoblins. I yellowbox him, deploy hobgoblins, reloading to faction ammo. He can not engage me on the gate. I think what if it is bait and when i get weapons timer dozen tristans will jump into system. May be i should align to a bookmark first? But blasters are short range, i can not apply damage from distance. Orbit 500, activate and overheat guns, activate neut, drones engage, activate webs, activate and overheat armor repairer. I look here and there, things look good, tristan explodes scratching my structure a bit.
I took this fight because i saw his hobgoblins. Not sure if i took the fight vs warriors.

I was ratting, i did not want to fight Dragoon, i came to plex to help another unista, but he already warped out.
I decided to stay and take the fight.
I saw that i was losing, so i should try to break scram range with my webs and warp out.
I did not have plan for the fight. I think he had buffer tank. May be i should go for drones first?
I fitted railguns on new Algos.

I log in, see unfamiliar name in local. Check killboard, undock, coercer in a plex, dock. I can not go ratting. What if I find clone soldier and Coercer jumps on me same time? I have to kill it now, safety first. I know a little about amarr ships and lasers. Check range and tracking of his lasers and ammo. I think my railguns have better tracking and better range. I will orbit him at 5000, inside my optimal, outside his optimal, screw his tracking a bit.
Undock, warp to plex, slide. He is at 20. Approach, lock, deploy drones. Drones engage. Activate and overheat guns. Activate webs. Activate neut, stop ship at 5, orbit, activate and overheat armor repairer. Something wrong, he hits every round. I don't have spare plan, i just wait. Coercer explodes, my ship has 16% sctructure left.
After the fight i simulate his fit. Why his tracking is better? I think, it is Coercer traits, i forgot to check it. I took the fight because i thought i had a plan, but my plan was completely wrong.

I want to do PI, but there are cal mil algos, cormorant and tristan in the system. How can i undock epithal? What if they jump on POCO and destroy my ship during align time? I have to kill them all. It is just self-defense. I ask for help in chat, but it takes time.
Undock, go for cormorant. Slide into plex. He is 20 away. He quickly burns to me, he has blasters, but i don't care about range control, i spam 1 au d-scan in case other cal mil ships come. I think i just hit keep at range 5000, overheat guns and armor repairer, activate other modules.
Cormorant explodes, my ship has 50% structure.
I did not have a particular plan, i thought that my thermal/kinetic resistances gave me good chance to brawl against blasters or time to escape from railguns.
Thoughts.
Destroyer pvp looks easier than frigate. Fights are shorter, destroyers have almost same tank and twice dps. I don't need to manage cap or heat. Destroyers are slower, i can not manual piloting 3000 m/s MWD frigate.
Algos has drones, drones have their own tracking and optimal. Algos has bonuses for hybrid turrets tracking, so i can just be in range and don't think much about transversal.
I took fights either vs t1 frigates or t1 destroyers, i think that i can not fight navy or pirate frigates with algos. I don't want to fight anything that can do explosive damage with my PVE fit.
