From my experience artillery will have too crappy a tracking to rat with, you will spend too much time approaching them and especially rats who use tracking disruptors will mess you up big time.
AC pest >> artillery-mael. Tempest also has the advantage of similar damage while being able to fit a tractor beam / salvager. A light shield tank is enough for nearly all 0.0 spawns, comb that with an AB and lowslot gank fit, and you'll be fine.
*edit*
for lvl 1 missions, use a rifter or thrasher. Lvl 2 and 3; hurricane. Battleships are too slow and wont hit nothing with the big-arse guns.

Would putting Medium guns on the maelstrom be silly? i mean will i hit more or no?
i dont go below 0.5 Sec systems.
Not to sound dumb but what is AC again? im not good with abbrviations.

AC = autocannons. The short-range projectile weapons.
Medium guns on a maelstrom do not get the ship damage bonus, and a hurricane will both fly faster and hit harder.

For ratting I would agree with Sokratesz, but for missions the maelstrom with artillery is better. You need a much better tank and the mael provides that without sacrificing much damage( if any). Use either 1200s and an extra large booster or 1400s and a large booster depending on your tanking skills and tactics. The mael is slow for a Minmatar ship but its still fast enough to keep range on npc mission ships.
As for only having level 2 agents available you either need to do a bunch of missions or train some skills(probably both). Cosmos is good for boosting your faction standing, the minmatar cosmos can be difficult but the gallente you can do in a few hours.

Don't mean to be rude, but if you loose a battlecruiser on a lvl 2 mission you might want to hold out on using a battleship and focus on getting your shield tanking skills sorted out.
