Made it to Elite on the C64. WELL DONE COMMANDER. 
Played Frontier a bit on the Amiga but it didn't grab me the same way...it felt more like a tech demo than a game in a lot of respects.

Deadly on Speccy.
I made it to elite on my BBC. I also found that thargoids took up no cargo space, so I used to kill the mothership, then scoop them all up - had over 100 in my hold.
Elite on CPC, deadly on Archimedes and BBC model B

Captainkremen you got the title archangel by destroying a space station which you managed by shooting it with a missile whilst cloaked and using an ECM jamming device.

Made it to Elite on an Amstrad CPC464/128 and to Deadly on an Atari ST
Happy days.
Both have long since been sent to the great skip in the sky as have most of my gaming memory's, its been about 22/23 years since I played the Atari.

Yup, Elite on BBC (with 6502 2nd processor ... raw unadulterated processing POWER!).
3 times Elite on Amstrad CPC.
Once as defensive trader, once as bounty hunter (only shoot pirates) and once as pirate (shoot everything). Wore out the 'T' key and numerous joysticks.

Used to make it to Elite in a couple of weeks. Traded until I could afford a Military Laser, then I'd go nuts, shooting pirates in Anarchy systems, and the occasional trader. That was on the NES. Wasn't easier than the other systems I played on, just quicker to load, being cartridge based.
It also had a system (bug) that allowed you to guarantee a Thargoid attack. Hold the throttle up while going into hyperspace. 1 to 3 thargoid motherships. But to be successful at this, you needed a rear military laser too.

I never got to Elite rank in any version of the Elite game
Didn't get there in FE2 either, but I did make it in FFE. I remember leaping out of my chair and dancing around the room - and the cat almost dying of fright
I remember getting a mediocre ship (in FFE), finding a small outpost (cheat) half way to polaris, refuelling, and making it, chatting to the Thargoids. Only for it to crash, spend a half hour on the phone to support (in the 1990's!) and then get a disk in post that meant I couldn't use my previous save game.
As you can tell I still came back for more but I had to put up with X-BTF inbetween
