The Guardian QI has been on of my favorite ships to bring into battle.  Locking down large enemy ships, while evading their pdc's (and sometimes friendly ones as well) has become one of my most enjoyable ways to fly combat.  This ship works perfectly for ground FPS, bounty missions, and excels at lending support to various org operations where enemy engagment is going to happen.  Swap out the cannons for some Distortions and attach yourself to small fighter wing to not only lock down those bigger ships but also render them disabled and allow your team mates to board and secure the enemy vessel.
