No Man's Sky

Just getting started, and I'm noticing that the first two systems I've visited have been abandoned. Is this like Adrift? I just visited the Anomaly, and it is also eerily silent, no other players visible.

Spooky, just in time for Halloween I suppose.

Question though, is there anyway to sell surplus technology modules? Without the normal merchants in space stations, I can't think of anyway of using sentinels to farm nanites. Can't remember from Adrift.

Good luck Travellers, I'm going to go back to drift in the void…
