It's extremely meta, but Oneiros has indicated he wants us to have a period of peace after the current war. Of course, no guarantees, but I think you have to look to the Cardassian shipyard push rather than our moratorium. Their shipyard push will start launching cruisers in 2318-2319. That's when I expect the Cardassians to strike.

Let me rephrase then; Improving relations with the Yrillians further will improve the ability of the Federation and the FDS to improve relations with the Sydraxians and influence their politics.
And my main point is the Gretarian push anyway, which we already know could have negative consequences.

Yes, I do support a Yrillian push, but I don't think we can guide its effects like Gnarker is claiming. It will simply have good effects.

And then only if they either have limited goals they are sure can be pushed after inital Starfleet losses or are sure we'll lose even with new members.
Yes, again, the shipyard push is extremely telling. There's no point in launching the war before their new shipyards bear fruit - the Romulans and Klingons have both used the same shipbuilding logic in delaying their war.
We know the shipyards were completing at the end of 2314. Cruisers will start to launch in 2317. We could see war anytime from 2317 to 2321.

On the other hand, we also have ample evidence on how a diplopush can have negative consequences; Bajor getting occupied, or in this case strengthening the case of the hostile Sydraxi factions. Maybe it won't, and will instead help, yes, but I'd prefer not to take that risk with the Gretarians when we can influence the situation in other, less dangerous ways, or could even simply sit back and see if good things won't happen even without our actions.

Do our own economies actually need help? I would have done the deal focused on the other participants directed at the Pacifist, as they would be interested in fixing what this war messed up and making the area more stable.

Not really none went beyond limited mobilization for the economies so they all should be fine.
Not really but it's good optics and we could always use some extra funding.
It's also a political tool - the areas where the development are strong have been largely unaffected by the war and need an opportunity to be seen as helping those who are fighting. The President will see this and run with it.
I'd approach the Pacifists if I thought we needed to push something through an unwilling Council, but that's not the case here - there should be wide support from the development, pacifists, and expansionists.
With the exception of the Gaeni, who actually are in for an economic slump.
I'm not voting for the "economic aid" option because I'd rather solve a concrete problem that Starfleet has with crew shortages.

Plus Mercantilists. Opening up trade routes with the Ked Paddah is almost certain to make them happy campers.

So my earlier Sousa Deal idea to approach the Expansionists about a special Officer recruitment drive. Good idea?
We and the Ked-Padda are for being *campers* together?

So I appear to be the only one who wants to make Personnel a VA position, to gain a VA bonus for our most critical issue of lack of personnel. Am I missing something?

Personnel handles promotion boards, not recruitment. The Academy Commandant would be a better target for boosting recruitment, though simply expanding the Academy is the best way.

(Desired mechanical effect- Improve Crew income, especially officers.)
We are pretty much crippled by our crew shortages. The faster we can get the issue rectified, the easier everything will be in the long run. Any sort of delay will compound the issue.

Seeing how Starfleet reacted to the Orz would be interesting.
Particularly if there were no Androsynth ruins nearby to trigger unwanted questions.
Diplo push a friendly race to affiliate status, before figuring out they are actually the *fingers* of an eldritch abomination.

The staff post in the threadmarks has it down as an Old Guard RA Seruk, with no bonuses?
Oh, and I should probably just check: @OneirosTheWriter , does the department of Personnel handle recruitment and the Academy, or does it purely manage existing staff for promotions and such? I thought it was both, but I've been told I'm mistaken. If not, what department does handle recruitment? There's nothing listed for the Academy in the Staff megapost at all.)

Next step: Diplo-push the Q.
Holy shit, after this is over can we make a hard push to affiliate the Licori? Clearly their Hat is fixed defenses, which should help with our sort of pacifist outlook.
More seriously I can only suspect the Goliath Stations are like, militarized moonlets, and thus unreplicatible. Like, Gammon has a big moon and then they ALSO either have three nickle-iron rich Deimos-moons or they dragged asteriods into orbit and stuck a bunch of guns and shield generators on them. C8 L14 H14, what is this???
[Note I can't find the stats for Starbase I so maybe they're not too off. Still, three of them??]
