Normally, unless you were moving something along the shipping lanes (pop, fighters, mines, etc.) they would just appear to be lines. If you moved something it would use your largest available transport picture to represent the movement of stuff.
To raid shipping lanes is all one would have to do is place a ship along the lanes and select a "Raid" option. Then every turn the resources produced by the system would be transfered from you empire to theirs.
It would be a good idea to be able to toggle the lines on or off to keep the display from getting too cluttered.
I don't think the Raid option should be an automatic perfect success; you should only get a small percentage of the trade per raider. The cargo capacity of the raider should be a factor as well; you can't assume that you'll capture the traders intact and have them haul the booty home for you.

Cap'n Q
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
