want to know if I should just blitz with a tengu or rat the belts.

Mission-running involves having multiple agents, lots of docking and undocking, rejecting missions and waiting out 4 hour decline timers.

You get around the 4 hour decline timer by getting your *faction* standing above 5. Declining a mission provides a miniscule hit to your standings so you can decline multiple missions in a row. However, your corp standings will take a hit, and if your corp standings go below -2.0, you won't be able to mission for that corp, but that takes a lot of declines in a row to happen.

Using faction standing also makes the agents near low-sec viable.

Are you part of a null corp/alliance. If you are and they have upgraded ihub you can just run the anoms. I find it gives a more steady income. You can very easily run havens in a T2 fit tengu, orbit at 70km and spam the missiles, take out frigs first. You could probably do higher level ones if you paid more attention, but I do this while I pvp on another account

I don't think any of the space I am in is upgraded.

What is the most efficient ship for anoms/ratting if I am gallente trained but don't have t2 sentries but have t2 large guns.

Thanatos .
I have battled to get gallente to work for me for PVE. I find keeping range the safest way to run anoms so generally use missile boats unless I am in amarr space, in which case an APOC or geddon works better than the tengu or even the legion. I have seen corpies run anoms very efficiently in mach's, but you will need large projectiles and some cross training for that.
Maybe a shield domi with some new drone damage mods will do it. Tried a megathron for vl4's, but wasn't great, might work OK as a sniper with rails for anoms.

What region you planning on running in? in most cases its best to choose the ship that does damage to the races weakest resists.

Don't forget the Gila. Drop sentries, shoot missiles to aggro, orbit while your sentries blow stuff up. Garde IIs will rip through Serpentis like a hot knife through butter. The catch is that you lose a few million ISK every time a non-blue enters system, unless you're brave/stupid and run back to pick the sentries up before docking/warping to POS.

Heh, I have suprisingly more gunnery skills, I suppose gila would probably still do better than ishtar given how much rails suck though.

Your ship-based weapons are just aggro-getters, nothing more.

I do Guristas Sanctums in a faction fitted Tengu. Alone I do 16M - 20M a tick. However I use a Thanatos Alt and assign 5 fighters and do 28M-32M a tick. I don't bother salvaging, seems that would take more time than it's worth.
