Curses / Re: LCS 4.06.4 Download (Bank Heists, Jan 2013)

Oh my god.
I downloaded LCS and can't stop playing it for the half past month or so. I would like to say thank you to both the original developers and the community who helped this game stay alive for so long. I can't believe an ASCII game released in 2004 is still talked about AND relatively regularly updated! Thank you for making and improving this game.
I was looking for that slick new interrogation interface in the wiki recently and stumbled upon a post of one of the community's developers who said he accidentally deleted it. If you didn't format since then(probably yes but who knows) there are file recovery tools for recovering even files that are already deleted from the trash bin and it works great with text files, although full or any recovery at all is not guaranteed.
If there are suggestions i can make those are:
1-Negotiating during a siege for instance: I will release the kidnapped individual if you give us 5 kevlar vests, or 20 daily rations... maybe make it choose number and success/failure of negotiation based on Persuasion, Heart and Psychology skills.
2-Making it so the SWAT can only raid the vault during a bank heist ONCE or TWICE. It's annoying to negotiate hostages or blow them all apart with casualties just to see another huge group of them storming the vault...
3-Make it so sometimes a news chopper is filming the siege and if you give up and the siegers execute your squad(Specially if they're CCS) they lose a HUGE amount of public support, and you lose a lot of juice for letting your squaddies die so easily.
4-I don't know if this is a bug or intended, but i once escaped a CCS raid and there were Police Officers waiting outside. They could be disguised CCS, conspiring with the CCS to take down the LCS or they just bugged and appeared there because the game code thought it was a police siege.
Either way i like this feature
Again, a huge thank you and i love how the game is so hard to complete in my way that the journey and what i learn during it is more important than the outcome of the game.
