I'd say there were lots of important lessons, so this PvP training ended well to my eyes. Most important lesson: Warp out before you die. It's a very important thing to learn and get use to.
Was that an ECM burst? They just drop locks, they don't jam the target like a single target. If he weren't a newb he would have just relocked. Tracking disruptors are always better on solo frigs anyway.
rifter might have done better tho im only basing this off my own experience fighting a rifter in a thorax with rails (yes i know blasters are ftw) the rifter gotinside me orbited about 500m but when your at speed it turns into about 1.300m to 2km anyway i had him webbed and scrammed and he had me he got me into half structure befor ei kileld him tho he had a t2 fitted tank on it i was surpised i later found he was a 14day pirate so when i see this merlin i kinda wonder why not orbit closer?
you my sir are an idiot, yes a t1 fitted rupture could probly kill an assult frig, not with out any problems if the fir was tracking disrupting, but that was a t1 frig, he says at the beginning of the vid it was a merlin.
Yes the Merlins fit was for LvL1 missions and it had rigs to just raise the shield capacity. If I fitted a more effective PvP fit on it, I might have won the fight.
@J35u5M0d3 to be fair that looked to be a shield boosting rupture, so that has to be a shit fit as well. He also appeared not to have an AB or an MWD.... on a rupture.
@DreadAle my guess would be it was some random guy that happen to see a merlin in system that he thought he could take. Both might have been running missions or what have you and opportunistically went after a "easy" kill.
@J35u5M0d3 No we both were on the same corporation and just wanted to do some PvP exercise. This was his first PvP battle and he got scared because I reached his armor twice and I was disrupting his locking systems. Some people just get too excited with PvP :P

Also...
- Please fit an AB
- Kill drones first
- That wasn't fit well for missions either
- and so on...

LOL a T1 fit rupture will have no problem killing any assault frigate. Drones + Nuets + Webs = dead AF.
