[QUOTE="Derren, post: 7514399, member: 2518"] You guys are vastly underestimating the problems of space travel. A probe can be send, although to get them to the planet fast likely requires a lot of energy and thus limits what the probe can do. But a manned mission? No way. Especially considering how close one has to get to the sun to get to Toril in just 6 months we do not have a rocket to lift a lander there, let alone infrastructure. You can of course try to set up a camp over time with multiple launches, but the same thing that make Toril special, breathable atmosphere and life, also makes remotely setting up a camp not feasible because of decay. Also you can't really attempt that without getting more information through probes. The planet might look earth like, but that doesn't guarantee that it is and can support earth humans. And those probes take time to build, they do not come from an assembly line. You might also need another communication satellite (unless you can repurpose an existing one) as communicating through the sun might cause some issues. [/QUOTE]
