In your graphics settings, make sure shader is at least at medium.

Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.

Let me clarify. I have engine trails on other ships, but not on my Mach (haven't tried any other BS's, maybe all battleships don't have them?)

I did notice the engine trail begin just before entering warp, but then nothing.

Are you going fast enough?

Silly me, its a Mach, of course you are. But other than going too slow I don't know why you can't see your trails

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

It has trails, but they're very tiny and few, and you need to get it up to some speed before they're noticeable. The ones I've seen only seem to have two emitters, which gives the trails far less impact than the 4+ you see from many other ships.

My mach had quite noticeable engine trails, but only with AB on.

At 200ms base they're barely noticeable but at 540ms they're probably twice as long as the mach.

It isn't just the Mach....My Golem and Navy Raven also do the same thing. Yet, all my other ships (that are smaller then a BS class) has trails and are cool to see.

Only problem I noticed with engine trails though, when coming out of a station and turning, the trails really didn't line up with what course you WERE on. :P

I just noticed that if I MWD I do get engine trails, but they are so thin and don't last for very long, compared to small sized ships.

Engine trails are based on speed.

About 200 is when you see them appear. They get nice and thick about 500.

150 actually, but yes.

This will be the first of many, many Mach nerfs.
Excellent.

The length of a trail scales with speed, but the radius scales with the ship's size. Ah, and trails only kick in when you go faster than 150.... (Trails on slow capitals just doesn't make any sense)
