There used to be such a thing in Aurora. It was deliberately removed.

They would do almost only armor damage, and have a very low chance of actualy damaging componants as they must hit the componant directly to do any damage, they could also be upgraded with a plasma coating or something like that that would cause damage to shields at the cost of greatly reduced armor penetration.
I'd say their best use would be for PD and anti fighter missiles, they would be useless for seiging a planet though
