Frontier retained the same two principal ideas as Elite: accurate real-world physics and completely open-ended gameplay. There is no preset plot you must follow in Frontier, instead you are free to shape your own destiny. As a consequence, Frontier can't be "won" (although it can be lost) - you have to decide yourself what to aspire to, and when you have achieved it.
