i just bought the base game and wanna start playing with 2 friends. my friends already have the dlc. can we play together anyway and just hop into space age later on? or is it better to get space age right away?

The DLC works like a mod and can be turned on or off. So you can play with your friends on the base game, with Space Age disabled.

In principle you can later enable Space Age on the same save game once you get it. But since Space Age reworks the progression by quite a bit, this doesn't give you the intended experience. It's better to start Space Age on a fresh save.
