Edit: Bill Turner is grade 5 sensor capable too, so don't panic into a killing frenzy to get access to Lori Jameson, Bill Turner will do just fine.
What? Well, chances are that if you're an Explorer your exploration rank is high and your combat rank is somewhere below clueless.
Why am I mentioning the combat rank here? Well, when 2.3 goes live there's a long awaited Engineer modification, the lightweight mod for the Sensors. The beta has shown reductions of over 79%. That is a very significant reduction and will buy you a few additional Ly's jump range. Now here's the catch: The engineer is Lori jameson and Lori is situated in Shinrarta Dezhra which requires an Elite rank (or Founder) as permit. Additionally, Lori will only speak with you if your combat rank is Dangerous or higher. Luckily you already have an Elite rank in exploration (right?, right?), so that's your access to Shinrarta Dezhra.
So what about the combat rank then? Yes, there's no way around it, you have destroy ships if you want to rank up in combat for those lightweight sensors.
"But I'm an explorer and I suck at combat!"
Indeed, but then I have this suggestion for you: Unsuck in combat and be quick about it, wing up with other explorers also in your shoes, battle ready your ExploraConda (add SLFs), go to a HazRes, Compromised Nav Beacon, or even Combat zones and start the carnage. 2.3 will nerf the stacking of Massacre missions to 3 max, so your added bonus for doing stacked Massacre missions will drop significantly in 2.3.
PS: Could not resist the title of this thread, it seemed appropriate.
