Heh, well, thing is, blasters have the issue of range, wich can be countered by an mwd, however not in missions.
Rails are quite ok, but it wont be as easy cookie cutting as with any of the droneboats(ishtar, myrmiddon, eos or domi).
I'd set it up something like, rails in high, cap rechargers and a ab in mid, and a solid armor tank, with specific harderners. Nothing fancy nothing revolutionary.

I used a Deimos pretty effectively in most level 3 missions, but I wouldn't chance it on level 4s. No MWD means you're stuck to using ABs to get in close to do your face-pummeling.
I found it to be a hell of a lot of fun actually, doing missions in my Deimos. You're right up close in the middle of the action, you'll be relying a lot on your drones to pick off frigates. Just remember to fit proper tanks against each NPC type you end up going up against, and you'll do fine for L3s.
Best advice I can give is, learn to fly the Deimos properly before attempting tougher missions. Know your ranges, and your tanking abilities well.

i did all the lvl4s (2 months ago, dont know about changes) in a rail hype.
couldnt do it in a mega, because the missions that swarm you at a warpin point broke my tank.
relevant (t1) gunnery skills at IV.
dont know about the deimos, but isnt that like the thorax mostly a non-DS ship because of an MWD bonus? i bet you could tinker together a setup that (with a loooot of headache and time) can complete lvl4s (Are the Vs out yet?) but youre really better of with something else.
astarte, hype and mega come to mind if you really want guns.
or you just take mil or so sp to use a drake somewhat effectively (not counting the support skills you can use for your gunboats too, ie engineering, mechanix, cap skillz, yadda yadda)for grinding some mishes.
while you keep the gallente gunboats for the funstuff.
and just dont tell anybody you trained for that caldari trash

so perhaps I could save face and get an ishtar until I can fly an astarte or Eos?

well, i guess that basically just depends on your sp distribution.
if you want to use an ishtar (and have at least med T2) id also think about a domi.... doesnt hurt too much to lose it, and ...you can laugh at me... but running missions with a drone boat might yield a loss or two...
but if i would assume you want to avoid battleships, would i be right?

Doing lvl4 missions in an Ishtar is really easy (except some missions). I keep 7 Wasps, 5 Bouncers, 5 hornets in my drone bay. When I am away more than 50km from the target I use bouncers and snipe them. When they are close, I use wasp and fly away from the them. Its more fun this way. ______________________________ Caldari blood. Gallente style. Minmatar Attitude. |

In my experience some lvl4 missions are doable in an ishtar, if you want to do all of them including the more difficult ones you really need a faction tank period.
A deimos is not an option in my opinion its tank is just not good enough, fitting blasters in missions is stupid and you cant fit rails on it and still have a decent tank.
Go for the astarte, i did missions in it for a long time. With 7x 250mm II rails youll blast through them without problems.
And offcourse the domi is always nice, sentry drones are tha bomb.
