That was actually something I would have loved to really get into, if I had had the time. In EvE my favourite ships are the Caldari interceptors, small ultra-fast frigates that can just run rings around almost anything else in the game (other than another interceptor). Same deal - small and fast wins the day, I just wish I had have tried that.... Caldari weren't the fastest scouts though. Minmatar were, and with all its Low Slots, Gal Scouts could come pretty close.
Caldari weren't slow like the Amarr, but they weren't speed demons either. I can't remember if they had the PG to pull off KinCats either.
For the longest time they were the best passive scanners though, and Shield Tankers of the Scouts.

Yes, I'm aware that Caldari weren't a lot of things. The thing about being dedicated Caldari was/is to stay with what you've got, skill as highly into it as possible and learn to work its advantages and within its limits. I have found for the brief times I've tried FOTM or "what's the best gear" that to skill into it takes ages anyway, and if I'm already fully skilled into one race, then I can derive all the benefits of that race or faction. I know this didn't fit with a lot of the mentalities in Dust, who would rather always be seeking the best this or the fastest that or the strongest whatever else, but being a fully skilled Caldari means I can be a good all-rounder with emphasis on certain Caldari gear that I know works really well for me. Same for my Gallente merc. Same goes for EvE by the way, where I have a Caldari and a Gallente pilot as my two main characters, both of whom are very highly skilled pilots in their own race and some factions that work well with those races. My Caldari main, Nalianna, for instance, can fly every Caldari ship but the Leviathan, simply because the Titan skill costs 5.5Bill ISK! I fully intended once I had fully trained my Caldari (and Gallente) mercs in their respective races, to start branching out and training the other races, as well, but sadly I never got to even fully train their own races before the end.... :( A lot of people went that route. Either training one race, or training one class. I largely trained Minmatar myself, but I dabbled in other Scouts as well.

I regret that I wasn't able to get OB'd on the last day and have my merc memorialized in a Kill Mail.
Stupid Scotty...

Gallente were the fastest in practice though as they were the only scout you could run 2 kinkats and still get under gal logi scans except for the amarr scout which was slow. If you are going to qualify being able to beat scans, then yes, the Minjas couldn't compete on that front. Gallente, being the first scouts, always were the most versatile.
Even when it was just Gal and Min scouts, and only a couple hundred or so people even played the role, 80% of those would play Gal.
Up until the Amarr, the Minjas were the red headed step children of the Scout role.
But I still love them.
