Definitely!   Of course they both have different ships.  With the FB you

get the recent ship construction system.  I haven't been able to locate
a 
point system in the EFSB yet.

The FB also provides some interesting background info on "official" (and

I use this word lightly) races.

The variety of ships in the FB makes for easy and quick pick up games
for 
cons and gaming get togethers.
