Is there anyway to play the campaign with a friend co-op?

Title.

I've picked up the game looking to play the campaign through with a friend but we've not been able to do any of the main story missions together. We both just finished the tutorial stage and are currently at the command bridge.

We get an error saying that the other person has not progressed far enough in the story, i'm not sure if it affects the game or not but we are playing different classes?

Any help would be appreciated.

Side note we are able to do random missions together so theres no issue with the co-op for that aspect.

Almost any mission is playable in co-op, with some exceptions:
- tutorial
- story missions in which you are controlling either imperial knight or the tank
- some dlc missions listed under special locations

Another limitation is, that tech-adept can't play main martyr story campaign in co-op. He has his own set of tutotial missions, after which his story starts directly with prophecy expansion. You can onyl play through prophecy storyline or side stories (chaos undivided, drukhari menace, etc.)
Your problem is probably because one of you is playing tech-adept, while the other one is not. If your friend attempts to join as tech adept after you both finished tutorial, you won't be able to continue strory together, becasue they don't have access to your missions and your non tech-adept character needs to finish martyr in order to unlock prophecy, and side stories will also only unlock later through progressing through the martyr campaign.
Same goes the other way, if you attempt to join tech-adept character right after tutorial.

Kind of lame that you cant play the tech adept with a friend who is starting the game with you, unless both are tech adepts.
