  Caracals typically can do two things well in pvp. The first is anti-frigate which is achieved by fitting assault launchers. The second is long range dps support with heavy missiles. It seems you are going for the latter. If that is the case then use range scripts with your sensor boosters and aim to spam the missiles from around 60-80KM depending on the situation and on how your FC likes it. Range is your tank so lose the EM hardner and fit a target painter which is far more useful. A target painter will also improve your entire gang's dps. 2 BCS are fine, a common mistake is to over tank a Caracal when really it needs help with dps: Caracals are fragile, and will not survive if primaried no matter how many tank mods you use. Stay aligned and warp away if the enemy closes the range with you. If you can achieve a range of about 60-80KM with just one sensor booster, you could also consider swapping the Invuln field and one of the sensor boosters for two sensor dampners with range dampning scripts. This will buy you more time to spam missiles if the enemy tries to close with you, and further help your gang with ewar. In lowsec you can get away with pvping without a speed mod, but if you want to follow your gang into null sec a mwd is essential for escaping bubbles. Also I tend to carry all ammo types, generally I'll use kinetic for the bonus although some targets are better delt with by using the ammo which corresponds with their resist hole, however never reload during a fight, only change your missiles if you know what kind of ships you will be fighting in advance. As for drones I'd go with either two warrior drones for emergency point defence, or maybe even ecm drones, although you'll have to be lucky to jam anything.
