I want my friend to play STO with me. Does he have to choose the same faction as I do or can we play together while being in different factions?

So there's no actual crossplay and if we want this to have sense a be fun we should choose the same faction?

Crossplay is limited to grouping for content, but factions are still heavily hardcoded into the game with separate social zones and faction-specific missions. If you want to play together, definitely choose the same faction and origin.
