Is there a way to use an animation in the Shield and Armor HUD?

I'd like to be able to make the shield and armor displays blink at 40% and 20% health.

Odd, I could've sworn I saw a ship that did such a thing. The shield indicator blinked red when you had low armor...
[schilcote] It doesn't have to be good, it just has to not be "wow is that the only thing you could think of" bad

Perhaps it accepts blinking armor, but not blinking shields. I hadn't thought of trying to make the armor blink, as most people I talked to were more concerned with the shields warning them of impending loss, so they could try to get out of there before taking damage to armor.

It would be nice if the ship graphic were separated from the shield graphic, and the shield graphic could be set up to have animation.
