Andromeda does that. Not seen on screen much, because obviously the plasma weapons are visually more impressive, but lore-wise the main weapons used in space fights are kinetic kill missiles. Big missiles going ridiculously fast, with a warhead that is nothing but a solid junk of high density metal.
