Both are 26 episodes-long mecha series with plenty of comedy and action.
But above all, the characters in Nadesico and their relationships are eerily akin to the ones in FMP. We have a pretty dense pilot guy (Sousuke/Akito) who's competed between a friend (Kaname/Megumi) and his captain (Tessa/Yurika). Sousuke and Yurika are even physically very similar to Akito and Kaname. Among the supporting faces we also find the tsundere, the meganekko, the ladies man, the cook, etc...

Screwball antics one minute, fierce realism the next. It's a bit more serious and harder to swallow, and definetly not as family friendly, but FMP! draws a few parallels.

Mecha batles, boys meeting girls, saving the world.
Similar artistic style and humor throughout both animes also, though the high school setting of FMP is substituted for a battleship in MSN (more akin to FMP's submarine setting)
Both are funny action mecha shows with a blue-haired girl in love with a pointy-haired guy who pilots one of the robots. FMP! is more of a real robot show while MSN is about super robots.
Nadesico, as FMP, is a very funny mecha anime with a little bit of romance. However, the battles in Nadesico are far from being memorable as in FMP.
