I fiddled around with Lightspeed's 32-bit effects and made thruster graphics for each of the six Starforce species species. Unfortunately, the trails for the fourth, fifth, and sixth species don't show up. Here's my species_defs table:

Also, the game ignores Lightspeed's shinemaps. They're installed, but FS2 doesn't see them and shows the ships without shinemaps. Could these two problems be related?

Are you running with the -t32 command line option?

my shinemaps are 8-bit, so if they are not displayed something's screwed up with your game / computer / settings :)

What GFX card do you use?

Are the shinemaps in the /maps folder? At least on my machine, they only work when they are  in the /Freespace2 main folder.
Give a man fire and he'll be warm for a day, but set fire to him and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Has anyone figured out what the problem could be?

not sure... possibly some hardcoded crapola in the v code [that then code copied] that should be replying on the True_NumSpecies internal variable (which is pulled directly from the $NumSpecies: tag)

i'll have to search the code when i get a chance

I got the shinemaps working; turned out that they weren't in the media VP.:p

The effects are certainly there though.

Was everything there that was listed in the readme? If not, what version were you using and what was missing?
