Loss 62.22m https://zkillboard.com/kill/77155601/
Okay, so I'm fairly new at PvP (and Eve), and after being inspired by Chance Ravinne and his Wingspan videos, I decided to really give Eve a try. So from day 1 (more like day 1416 because I created this character 4 years ago, played one day, and never touched him again) I was training into a stealth bomber. This malso means, I'm really new at deciding what I can or can't take. I entered system and saw a procurer on D-scan and tracked it down. After doing some recon and creating a warp in bookmark that wouldn't decloak me, and that was in line with a celestial I could warp out to, I decided I would try and kill the Procurer.

I hit decloak, target him and paint him. Since My warp out point was directly behind him, I kept getting closer. I didn't notice him yellowbox me. His drones start damaging me and I notice I'm scrammed (so much for pre aligning) couldn't use my microwarpdrive and align in another direction away from him. At this point, I've maybe done 40% shield damage and he's killing me fast.

I manage to get out of his scram range and align to the sun. I try and get into warp, but as you already know, stealth bombers align slowly. He kills me a second or two before I get into warp. He laughs in local. I wave goodbye.

My mistakes: Assume there was no way he fit a point, and creating a warp out bookmark directly behind him (This isn't even a bombing run, like, get your act together Stilgar). Dying. I could have probably orbited him at 20km or something.
His mistakes: Laughing in local. I'll get him eventually. I still see him mining there once in a while.

Date: June 16 2019
Location: Jovainnon, Verge Vendor, Lowsec
Outcome:
Loss 8.99m https://zkillboard.com/kill/77332821/

I had been running around lowsec in an Atron (Verge Vendor, Essence, Placid) looking for fights for about an hour and a half and I had found nothing. Either I'd run into a fleet or people would run away. Evetually I got tired and I started heading back to NSC. On my way, I found an Algos. I knew it would be a tough fight, but I was bored and maybe I could take him, after all, I don't really know anything about PvP and this is how you learn.

I warped in, approached, pointed and webbed him and I got melted almost immiadiately. To be honest, I think my mistake was engaging a cruiser in a T1 frigate, but someone more experienced may be able to shine a light on this one.

Date: June 17 2019
Location: Jovainnon, Verge Vendor, Lowsec
Outcome:
Kill 3.75m https://zkillboard.com/kill/77342002/

I took my Atron out for a quick roam through lowesec and I found another Atron in the first system I went to. He was at a small plex and after looking him up using localthreat and zkill, I saw that he was fairly new. I jumped the gate and burned towards him. Scram and web him. I had Void S loaded in. After about 30 seconds I break his tank while he's struggling to break mine.

After gf in local, my most recent victim says it was his first fight. I tell him it was one of my first solo fights too. We exchange pelasantries and I head home.

My mistakes: I used Void S and approached and oribited at 500, but, as Mongo later pointed out, I could have loaded Null and kept him at 5000 and not taken any damage. Next time I'm fighting I will try and remember that this is an option.

His mistakes: Honestly, I don't know if he could have done anything differently other than maybe fit a SAAR instead of a normal armor repairer. I had T2 guns and DCII. He didn't. We were in very similar fits.

Location: Placid, The Citadel and Verge Vendor, Lowsec
Outcome:
Kill 1.28m https://zkillboard.com/kill/77355987/
Loss 8.65m https://zkillboard.com/kill/77356361/
Loss 8.85m https://zkillboard.com/kill/77356906/
Loss 8.84m https://zkillboard.com/kill/77357250/
Loss 9m https://zkillboard.com/kill/77357505/

Today I lost 4 atrons.

I started the day by undocking from PC9 and heading to Harroule. On my way, I found an Iteron Mark Vwho was warping in the opposite direction I was going. I decided to track it down. I managed to catch it at a customs office. It had nothing fit in it.

Afterwards I headed to LSC and took the first fight I saw. It was a slasher at a plex. I warp in and dont manage to scram him beofre he pulls range on me. He is MWD fit. I attempt to 'slingshot' and manage to web him but I accidentaly click the web twice and it disables after one cycle. He was never in scram range. He pulls range again and starts doing damage, but not much. Soon after someone else hows up in a Sunesis and together they kill me.

My third engagement of the day consisted of me warping to a plex, landing there at the same time as a federation navy comet, and getting absolutely destoyed. I didn't have time to warp out. I did not activate the gate.

My fourth engagement was vs a Merlin with AB/Scram/Web fit (like me). He was using a tracking disruptor. Halfway through the engagement I tried to load null ammo so I could track better and maybe try and pull some range on him, but immediately after that, someone else landed on the plex and it was too much for me to hold.

My fifth and last engagement of the day was vs another atron. He was also AB/scram/web fit. To be honest, this is one engagement I would've liked to have recorded, because I don't know what went wrong. Judging by his killboard, we had the exact same fit with the difference that hewas using a T2 small hybrid burst areator instead of my small anti-explosive pump rig.

Final thoughts of the day: Man, I wish I was good at this. But I'm going to get better someday I suppose.

Outcome:
Loss 9.42m https://zkillboard.com/kill/77395974/
Kill 0.29m https://zkillboard.com/kill/77396472/

WE FOUND KELON! Ithugor and William found Kelon in Vlillilier. Apparently he was in a Coercer and William engaged. Kelon reshipped to give us a fair fight. Ithugor los his Fed Navy Comet and seconds later I lost my Atron to him. Afterwards Ithugor, William and Me convo'd him and gave us some really helpful tips and gave me ffeedback on my atron fit.

After taking his feedback into account, and looking at top players using the Atron deaths in Zkill, I replaced the rigs in my previous fit for 2x Small Transverse Bulkhead I and 1x Small Hybrid Collision Accelerator I. I removed the Nos due to increased power grid use.

Afterwards I took my new fit out for a quick test but all I was able to find was an Atron with no fit jumping between plexes.

Date: June 21 2019
Location: Vey, Placid, Lowsec
Outcome:
Kill 9.42m https://zkillboard.com/kill/77402070/

I found a Merlin at a novice sitting close to warp in, I closed distance and scram and webbed him. He was dual web, rail and mwd fit. I kept at 500. I won the dps race. I believe I shouldorbited him at 500 to mitigate some of his rail damage. He could have sat further away from warp to kite me and I would not have stood a chance.

Date: June 22 2019
Location: Black Rise and Placid Lowsec
Outcome:
Death 12.47m https://zkillboard.com/kill/77433821/
Kill 11.19m https://zkillboard.com/kill/77435674/
Pod .93m https://zkillboard.com/kill/77435682/

Death was to a flashy Incursus at a gate, almost broke him, at one point he was at around 2% hull. At the end I tried to disengage and warp out, I think it was a mistake, I maybe could have won if I stayed.

I reshipped and roamed around for a long time. I eventually found a Vexor at a large. I looked him up on zkill, since we were the only two in system. He only had one other death in a Vexor that looked poorly fit and he had T1 drones on Dscan. This would've been unwinnable had my opponent been more experienced. I warped in on him and he was already aligned and warped out somewhere near planet I. I followed and found him at the asteroid belt. I pointed and webbed, orbited at 500 with void ammo and prop mod on. He didn't put his drones out for the longest time. Drebin wa around and aked if I wanted help, I said yes but by the time he warped to me, Vexor was almost dead, so I took the solo kill. I also podded him for good measure.

Good job trying and learning! Though if you don't mind, I'd comment on a few things.
I found an Algos. I knew it would be a tough fight, but I was bored and maybe I could take him, after all, I don't really know anything about PvP and this is how you learn.
It could not be a tough fight: typically, Algos are fit with Blasters, but they have 5 vs 3 for Atrons, plust they have drones and solid tank. I can't imagine any way Atron can kill Algos...
It is true that you don't learn from fights you don't take, but I'd only engage Algos in Atron if I wanted to die :) Which you did :) So, I guess good move! :)
My mistakes: I used Void S and approached and oribited at 500, but, as Mongo later pointed out, I could have loaded Null and kept him at 5000 and not taken any damage. Next time I'm fighting I will try and remember that this is an option.

His mistakes: Honestly, I don't know if he could have done anything differently other than maybe fit a SAAR instead of a normal armor repairer. I had T2 guns and DCII. He didn't. We were in very similar fits.
I don't think it was your mistake. You could load Null, but he could load long range ammunition (Iron) as well. Yes, it would favour you more, but not due to better range, but due to better skills: you were T2 fit, he was meta. That's it.
It is mirror setup, not much can be done. The only option could be if he were a rail fit then he could try to out-kite you: either AB with nano or MWD fit would have a better range control.

Thank you for your comments and feedback, I really appreeciate it Budda.
It is true that you don't learn from fights you don't take, but I'd only engage Algos in Atron if I wanted to die :) Which you did :) So, I guess good move! :)
Today I saw another Algos, I didn't engage this time... But yeah, I guess yesterday I wanted to lose my ship so.. yay me? :D

In other news, I just posted an update frrom my activity earlier today.
