I have both. Star Trek: Fleet Captains is by far the superior game. The only thing the Deck Building Game has going for it is a co-op mode where you work together to fight the Borg... a scenario which many hope will be brought to ST:FC in an expansion (and there are already fan expansions on BGG that incorporate this).Having said that, my girlfriend prefers the deck building game (in co-op mode only), but only because she doesn't like the direct conflict of ST:FC and random momentum swings (from a series of good or bad encounters, easy missions, losing a ship or two, etc) that can occur in ST:FC.
If you're a Trekkie, you NEED Star Trek: Fleet Captains. If you also like deck building games, you might want to also check out ST:DGB... but it's inferior to most other deck building games on the market (e.g. Dominion, Thunderstone, Ascension, Sentinels of the Multiverse, Rune Age, etc).
