I don't think they were positioned correctly in the hp

Is the model scale set to 0.01 in MPE?

I've compared my positioning to those of a working ship with properly placed blinkers.  the only difference is the period and duration, which i needed to set correctly.

Wiley: yup.  took a bit to find it

You may have pointed the blinkers' texture property to the wrong path. I had a similar issue here (http://bc-central.net/forums/index.php/topic,4121.msg81658.html#msg81658)

*quirk* odd, I USED the "blank" at first, and got no blinkers untill I used the Blink texture. then I got my floaters

EDIT: and, ONCE again, Kirk earns a cookie for pulling my chestnuts out of the fire.  blinkers are set.  they're a little off this time (i redid em all).  this needs to go into a howto.
