    • One simple question.

      Regarding Infighter,

      does Double Uppercut hit two times?

       

      according to http://sea.hidden-street.net

      Double Uppercut

      Master Level: 20

      Description: A quick round of two punches to apply damage and temporarily stun the monster.

      Level 20: MP -30, damage 290%

       

      is it 2x 145% or 1x 290% or 2x 290%?

      sometimes hidden-street not very clear,

      and maple forum got some problems cannot access.

      Energy saver here XD

      but seriously, i think this extra electricity is connected together with the power with the lamps etc. to further made electricity more efficent... afterall, we have a V. efficient demanding compancy...lolz

      I'm more worried that it slows down the motor. =)

    • it is a very bad idea, i hope that they do not implement it.

      BTW, i took it two times already.

      It doesnt matter, in this case, whether they pass the cost to commuters or not.

      It is the electricity wastage. And it just makes the train weak, drawing too much power.

      Try and notice the speaker, especially at Bukit Gombak "Next station...." only.

      Third Rail technology not really recommended to use this new system.

       

      Oh ya, electricity charge increase 21% right? xD

      i really don't understand people nowadays. National service is meant to be a platform for boys to proudly serve their country. It is the transition from boys to men. why do so many people want to "chaokeng" or skip NS, especially when they are healthy from head to toe? I have heard of some very fit people who when accepted to join commandos, are unwilling. There are many people who also commented that when they go NS, they will try to lead a slack life.

      On one hand, there are so many opportunities for these fit people, yet they reject these offers for specialist courses. There are a handful of people on the contrary who want to serve as specialists - maybe commandos or divers, and are unable to because of their eyesight, not because they are unfit.

      also national service will definitely toughen up the generation a bit more, it is not as if one has to go through hell week or is expected to do 100 chinups every day (which is still quite reasonable). all is required is to don on army wear and run that 2.4km or go through the firing practices.

      Serve NSmen i think you mean.

       

      I don't see in which way is doing NS serving the country.

      And NS life is not good.

      No don't get me wrong, i aint saying that NS isnt neccessary.

       

      But after 5 months in NS, i only see NSF like me serving NSmen.

      took a refurb C151 frm dover to jurong east just now. forget the set no. so not sure what train is it.. it was driving in CM mode. can see the orange constant light on top.

      the driver stopped before the CSP and it accelerates towards the CSP, slowly and steadily. till jurong east, i think got the technician came onboard and they change drivers there. peeped inside the drivers cab and the driver smiled at me...

      dont peep, wait one day the TO invite you to drive the train =)

    • Seems that the TO are better trained at CM now.

      seldom got sudden braking.

      Some very pro, zhun zhun stop at marking, at the perfect speed.

      Automatic = Train operated by Automatic Train Operation (ATO).

       

      CM = Coded Manual.

      TO drives, speed is limited by ATP (Automatic Train Protection). Used when raining,
      constant orange light.

       

      RM = Restricted Manual.

      TO have controls but speed is restricted to only 10 - 20 km/h (not sure of the exaxt speed) in this mode. Used in deport or when ATO / ATP fails somewhere, flashing orange light.

      Thanks for the RM part =)

      why are all the modes not available in the internet?

      Hi,

      Pardon my n00bness in asking this but...

      What is the light on top of the MRT for? How come the light is on during peak hours or heavy rain?

      I've heard about AM,CM and RM modes. What do they exactly mean?

      Lastly, may I also ask what is the meaning of the trip number (top left of the train head). As in, what do the different numbers mean?

       

      Thanks... 

      The light on top signals that the train is running in CM mode, i'm not sure for RM mode though.

      AM stands for Automatic Mode.

      CM stands for Coded Manual, which is manual mode using some kind of code.

      RM not too sure, but i believe that it stands for Raining Mode.

      Maybe due to some TOs dont know how to use CM mode.

      Individual cars are assigned a 4 digit serial number by the rail operator SMRT.

      • The first digit depends upon whether the car is the first, second or third car from either end of the train, where the first car equals 3, the second equals 1 and the third equals 2.
      • The other 3 digits is the train identification number. A full length train of 6 cars have 2 different identification number, one for the first 3 cars, and the same number plus 1, for the other three. The smaller number is always an odd number. For example, a train would consist of 6 cars with serial number 3033, 1033, 2033, 2034, 1034, 3034 respectively.

      The second digit is the generation batch. for example, a first generation C151 would be a 0 or 1. A C651 being, a second generation, would be a 2 ranging from x201 to x238, where x depends on the carriage type. And a C751B would be a 3.

       

      Hope this helps! =)

      any help on it? thanks .

      i check all the lines are not loose .

      It is quite common to get disconnected when you pass the bandwidth limit.

      I'm using 2wire too.

      Coz got 4 active computers, 2 laptop 2 desktop, so very easy pass(if not careful) the bandwidth limit(which is your subscribed broadband speed) and keep kena dc.

      so far, all the routers i use got this problem.

      really take whatever? lol

      go wrong place i find you =)

      But seng kang lrt not very convinient.

      especially if you're heading for the EWL.

      I think the gates refer to the fare gates to enter and exit the paid areas, not the platform screen doors that you are discussing.

      I guess there are slowly replacing the old ones to the new ones that are seen on the NEL and Changi Airport stations.

      As for the fare increases, I can't guarantee it won't happen. :S

      IC.

      i never got stuck by the gate before.

      but i find the reponse of the gate a little slow.

      takes a while to open after scanning.

      I don’t find it horribly noisy so it’s okay for me.

      Then try staying beside an MRT track =)

      Scenario 2: It is rush hour and the trains are packed. People are trying to squeeze in, afraid to be late for work. Half their body will be outside the train and they just refuse to budge. The door sensing there is a human will remain open while the rest of the commuters wait and wait and...

      Bad choice by SMRT

      haiz...

      The staff and public who feedback-ed must have tons of free time and lots of energy.
