No Man's Sky Players Seemingly Swap Ships

Starships are supposed to be one of the few things in No Man's Sky that players can't trade with one another, but an incredible interaction between players online seems to confirm that two random members of the community have somehow swapped starships unintentionally thanks to a bizarre glitch in the game.

While glitches in games are always triggered by one thing or another, it seems impossible to even venture a guess at how this happened. Some in the
