Ships & Modules

If you can use T2 Pulse Lasers, then use the pulse lasers with Scorch crystals. You'll have plenty of range. If you cannot use T2 pulse lasers, then go with beams for range. Consider something like this:

[Harbinger, Low Skill L3 Runner]
Medium 'Accommodation' Vestment Reconstructer I
N-Type EM Hardener I
N-Type Thermic Hardener I
Damage Control II
Extruded Heat Sink I

Rigs to taste; I would go with damage rigs, personally. Should be able to get 300 DPS easily with mediocre skills. Swap all of the named stuff for T2 where applicable - I don't know what your skills are like. If you can fit the larger beams, go for it.

In a mission with lots of up-close targets you can swap the AB for a web and use tracking speed scripts in the tracking computer instead of range scripts.

Myrmidon is also a decent ship for missioning, with a solid armor tank. If you tank according to the damage you'll be taking, much of the time you can enter a L3 mission, get full-room aggro, release your drones then go AFK for a while.

You DO NOT need to gimp yourself with Capacitor Control Circuit rigs and Cap Recharger modules. Use a capacitor booster to keep things running. You can fit plenty of charges in your cargohold and it frees up a lot of space for damage / tracking modules.

You can go for a perma-tank setup if you want, but only do that if you are lazy and don't mind taking forever to finish missions. Fit a light-to-medium tank, and fill the rest with MURDER AND DEATH.

When you can fit T2 pulse lasers, not much changes on this fit other than the guns. Pulse Lasers + Scorch = Win.

Fit beams for missions. Sanshas tracking disrupt, so even with scorch your optimal will not be very good when being cut in half. With beams you have ammo options that give you the range to hit them before they do serious damage to you.

If you have trained WU5 and at least AWU3 heavy beams should be doable with a rig or low slot PDS or RC depending on what else you are fitting to the ship.

Missions are much easier when you can snipe frigs at range, and then turn to high damage shorter range lenses when the heavier ships have closed on you. It beats charging toward and after rats because your only option is close range.

Same goes for blood raiders. Better to try killing them at range then allow them to get close with their neuts.

The only rats that really oblige a close range turret are serps and angels. Serps respond to laser fire reasonably well due to the thermal content, even if less thatn ideal weapon system against them. But with Angels forget it in a laser boat. Have a second race you can fly against them that does explo or kinetic damage. You say you have Gallente trained, so use a Myrm with explo drones against angels.
