»Kewl thanks, looks like i'll be tactical... does faction matter in terms of socializing (like if I were to want to play with you..)
Hm... Apparently Fleets are segregated. Accounts get one free slot for each faction, though, so if we get enough people to make a fleet, we could just make one Fed fleet and 1 KDF fleet.
Other than that, there are certain missions that are limited by faction (and the story missions are entirely different for each), but there are a few that both sides can do together.
Also, most races are limited to one faction or another.

»again ... STO patches so damn slow :/ is this normal?
No, but this is a major expansion pack, not just your everyday patch. Got a lot more people coming back to the game for this one.
