I was roaming around the Black Rise area hoping to get some fights when a Tristan and my comet landed on the plex gate at the same time. I slid first and the Tristan followed.

I did a a very poor job keeping at my optimal antimatter range and was a bit worried that I would lose when suddenly the Tristan disappeared.

It turns out they were only about a month old and only had meta-everything, so I gave them about twice the value of their isk and hoped that they would keep PvPing.

What I did well:
I pulled range immediately after I entered the plex

What I could do better:
Taking Drugs
Launching Drones
Staying inside optimal range

I don't understand what happened here really. Having saw someone in system, I undocked a Caracal to see what was going on, when I saw a pod. Seeing no point in trying to switch to a insta-thrasher and just tried locking them at which point they predictably escaped.

A short while later I was quite surprised when they came back in a pod. I hastily docked up and switched to an insta-thrasher. Despite forgetting to switch on my sebos I still managed to lock and blap the pod despite undocking afterwards.

What I did well:
Switching to something that might actually be able to catch an uncareful pod.

What I could do better:
Be a bit more clear headed when undocking rapidly and remember to turn on modules that should always be on (e.g. Sebo).

I entered a plex onto a Merlin. I attempted the overheat MWD and burn off and unfortunately failed. Fortunately they were rail fit and I was rail fit and so, being in a navy frigate, just straight out DPSed them.

What I did well:
I think I did a reasonable job at ammo selection and getting a bit away from them. Unfortunately, I don't recall the range to try and guess if I would have defeated a blaster scram kiting Merlin.

What I could do better:
Drugs and drones again :|

I saw a Slicer on D-scan and decided how I would do against another kitey navy frigate. Not well it turns out. They were outside the plex and I only got them to about half-armor before I died.

What I did well:
I think switching to spike was my right choice?

What I did okish:
I did remember part way through to take drugs at least! Progress!

What I could do better:
Learn how to slignshot to get out of such fights
I launched drones but I think I forgot to send them to attack...

I also learned that x-instinct and Exile use the same slot and that you can get multiple penalties from a hit of a booster.

I would appreciate any tips of what I should do to engage a slicer in a kitey comet.

Now with ~video~ https://youtu.be/XoHZE1qD-mk

So I decided to go into the Hookbill to see how it went even though the Frigate guide suggested I would lose. Spoilers, it didn't.

What went well:
I at least part way through remembered my drugs?

What went poorly:
Forgetting the drugs at the beggining ,
Bungling my MWD (forgetting to turn it on at the start. Stopping and then forgetting to start it again).
Forgetting to overheat my repairer.
Forgetting drones.

I got off before dying, so no killmail

https://youtu.be/OeQ1L7p636A

I was roaming with WHC but one of the members was dead and the other was repairing so I decided to go into a Tormentor. I should have totally won this I suspect, but blew it.

What went well:
I remembered my drones at a reasonable time!
I didn't die

What went poorly:
Overheating
Still bad at manually piloting and range control
Rep'ed poorly (started too early)
Didn't save my drones :(
Poor cap management (should have been pulsing my MWD?)

I entered the Plex and the Tristan was ~30km off the beacon so I burned towards it expecting it to try and warp off. Surprisingly, it didn't and I eventually caught it. I turned my MWD off to conserve cap and it did catch up to me to get a web on me, but my defensive web kept it at distance for more than enough time to finish it off. Surprisingly, I also got a million isk bounty as well.

What I did well:
When it did web me, I kept calm and just webbed it back and ran away in a straight line to keep mu traversal down.

What I could do better:
I fumbled the point quite a lot (accidentally turned it off instead of de-heating). I was pretty lucky that it decided to keep engaged.
I had drugs (from before) yay
I was a bit slow on the drones still
Although it didn't matter, I should not have been caught by it's web.
A bit overeager with the guns there.

I failed to keep a point on them. Womp.

https://youtu.be/mxt11AH5CQw

I slid into the gate and immediately started pulling range (I think the Tristan thought I was close ranged as it also pulled some range). I initially did a get job at keeping range and the drones off me. (At this point, an Incursus I had previously engaged with slide into us before deciding it wasn't worth staying and left). Unfortunately, I eventually didn't keep within point range well enough and the Tristan got off.

What I did well:
Didn't die. Managed to keep away from the Tristan.
Got drones out faster (but not as fast as possible)

What I could do better:
Forgot drugs (but I don't think I had any then)
Got too far away and lost point

I warped in and the Rifter was 35km off so I started burning off-angle to it. Fortunately, it decided to turn into me instead of running away and I fairly straight-forwardly kited it to death.

What I did well:
Maintained good range control (neither got within scram range nor lost point).

What I could do better:
Forgot to sic the drones on the person earlier.
Could have taken drugs a bit sooner

No point here :(

https://youtu.be/PVD77UM8Cew

I quickly burn off from the comet so I didn't get webbed or scrammed, but I got to far away and then failed to re-apply point when they wisely ran away from my kitey nonsense.

What I did well:
Pulled range immediately after landing.
Remembered (had already used) drugs!
Also drones!

What I could do better:
Staying in point range.

Another one gets away

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxAPeJ96GPY

I immediately burned off from the Punisher. It either didn't scram or I got out of range too fast as it only managed to neut me for a short amount of time. After that I kept at range (poorly) while trying to whittle away it's obnoxiously large tank. Unfortunately, I did a poor job keeping range and I lot point (and didn't realize, as I had ample time to reapply it).

What I did well:
Pulled range immediately after landing.
Used drugs mid-slide!
Put drones in space early...
Never got within scram range

What I could do better:
Staying in point range (especially against something AB fit)
Maybe switched ammo to something closer range but higher damage?
Actually sic' my drones on the opponent earlier
