Check the Galactic source code for a simple, "particle exhaust/thrusters" system.
This system creates jets of varying colour and length and transparency relative to speed/engine size. The jets create a trail, leaving an arc if the craft banks/dives etc.

EDIT-
changing the spriteviewmode may not be a great idea in this instance, depending on how your spacecraft moves in relation to the camera...
