It is interesting but it's not really that similar to MOO.
The scope of MOO is much wider, AL is concerned with only one solar system, not the whole galaxy. It is a very detailed solar system though, with several planets, asteroids and moons.
MOO also has more action. I've been playing AL for a few hours (4 or 5) and the alien bad guys (Alpha Centaurians) haven't shown yet. They is a sense of foreboding however and i'm wondering how long i can get by without building anti meteor guns.
The way technologies work in MOO is quite different too and AL has only one type of smaller ship, to the point i'm at.
