It's not just you. They seem... "fluffier". And darker in spots (possibly the new lightning changes?)

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

Per the patch notes:

"A texture was adjusted to reenable missile smoke trails."

Yeah, this is not new. These were added a couple expansions ago. However, CCP soon realized their mistake as missile ships were the FOTM and the missile trails were causing very significant lag in large fleet fights while completely decimating the hamsters in larger ones. It wasn't long before the smoke effects disappeared and "The great ship rebalance" commenced.
