We aren't Aeldari and support the Mon-keigh who dare to stand in the way of thier rightful dominion of the galaxy. They're going to hate us.

How much of the Eldar returned to the way they were before the fall because do we really want a empire sized version of the dark eldar

Meh, Gods are Gods, not any specific flavor of mortal. Maybe they won't like us, but maybe (and most likely) opinions will be mixed. Eldar aren't one faction, not since the Fall, but a smattering of independent societies and diplomatic networks across the galaxy.
Some will doubtlessly see us as Isha reborn.

In any case, we should make ourselves known to the Aeldari peoples, and also any other species we come across. We, after all, embody all life.
The Eldar were far more connected to their gods then pretty much every other race in the galaxy. It's the reason that Slaanesh was able to gabble down their pantheon and had claim on their souls. Combine the traumatic nature of Slaanesh's birth and the millennia of barely surviving as a pale shadow of their once great empire mixed with Isha role in the Eldar psyche, and it is extremely unlikely they are going to react well to us existing.
I mean it might be possible we could come to a neutral relationship with the New Aeldari Empire, but I don't see it happening without a lot of work.

no.
That's a horrible idea, secrecy is currently our biggest advantage. If any faction knew that an heir of nurgles throne was present they would do everything they could to destroy us before we become a problem.

I doubt the Necrontyr are going to want much to do with us. Their last relationship with 'gods' ended rather poorly.

It's easy for us IRL in ways that it is not for this fictional character... we live in a word that (in some ways) teaches the good in disobeying evil, or in disobeying the thoughtless commands of those who have power over us, when they give instructions that lead to harmful outcomes.
But imagine growing up in
My take is this: Sheridan is a much, much braver (and stronger) man than he thinks he is.

Trying to help make the world a better place, even in small ways, like Sheridan is... is not nothing.

And when we meet the Scarlet Cavalier, he's probably going to grumble about how we managed to snatch up Sheridan before he could.

Please. If this Scarlet Cavalier person is good folk and we manage to become colleges, then we'll probably end up going:
"Well, that's up to Sheridan, isn't it? Sheridan, honey, these are my themes and how worshipping me benefits you, and these are the themes and benefits of Scarlet Cavalier. So, who do you think worshipping will best facilitate you making the universe a better place?"
(Btw, I'm trying for 'friendly ribbing' here with my sarcasm. Tone, text...you know the jazz).
(But if Sheridan does decide that VM is the best method/avenue, then I do see some faux grumbling, on a foundation of acceptance of his choice, on SC's part*)
*Depending entirely on weather SC is a good person or not, of course.

Well if we go by this (along with the tags for the quest) he's not that bad a guy:

I say we take the conceits of the setting and break them over our fucking knees.
It won't be easy, we might fail; 'tis a quest with dice rolls after all! But fuck it. The universe of 40k is a shit. Lets make 52K something worth playing in eh?

Speaking of themes... Did anyone watch else watch Fringe?:
"You've got to try something"

So what are your thoughts for how our future mega-constructs might be done; pure organic, cyborg or biomechanical?
Organic would have the benefit that we/the cult could probably plant a seed/egg in the correct conditions and the ship would grow itself. Problem is that this form would need a lot more Warp shenanigans in order to be a viable 40k void combatant (As I recall, in void combat Tyranids lag somewhat behind more 'conventional' ships due to their organic limitations).
Cyborg results in the organic ship but with conventional machine parts added (compatibility wouldn't be a problem for us) to supplement organic limitations. Of course the downside to this is that it requires a conventional techbase and manufacturing capability.
Finally the biomechanoid as described on another site:
Question on the Eldar. I was under the impression that, as a consequence of their fertility problems and longevity, that a significant portion of their population grew up in the days of their old empire. The survivors by and large were the Eldar version of doomsday preppers, red necks, and Amish communities - only some of which objected on moral grounds to the lifestyle of Slaaneshi excess the Eldar indulged in at the time.
Is there a reason that they wouldn't slowly go release the limited restraint they did have now that they no longer have a huge threat to their souls running around in the warp? Am I incorrect about 50k Eldar demographics in some way that would reduce the number of hyper sensation addicts slowly getting back into the swing of things compared to those born into societies with more self control?
They could have learned their lesson from what happened, but this still feels like giving an alcoholic access to a wine cellar after convincing them that drinking doesn't have negative side effects anymore. Given enough time the fear of alcohol poisoning will fade in the face of " just having one drink ".

Eldar don't usually live more than a millennium, so there were a number of generations that knew nothing but the Craftworlds.

Reading the opening, I got the impression that the Eldar were more focused on re-assuming their mantle as the rightful overlords of the Galaxy than any kind of even ostensibly benevolent intentions, so I have difficulty imagining how 'informing' them of our existence could possibly end well, or why we'd even want to do such a thing.

Hmm, a mix of 3 and 1 to be honest. "Unlive" biomechanical with Warp powered (sry it's necessary) "living" organic parts.
In a way Structure, shields/armor and partially computer systems 'normal' ; while clogging/healing systems, control and partially computer systems organic.
(a mix of Stargate Wraith and Endless Space 2 Unfallen spaceships: they're grown, but it can be accelerated with pre-existing manufacturing)
Prefer the above, but wouldn't be against a mix of standard and organic units. Either way, flexibility is key.
+
We already have Necron ship as stop-gag and for later study and we can base some of our biomechanical components off of these. But that's for later.
FIFY, but in serious it's a tricky situation. Just like the Imperium, they are not single monotonous "everyone thinks the same way" , but we have to choose our "in".
Most will be wary, but there should be groups that don't agree with Aeldari governments' actions, though only few will be reasonable and/or desperate enough to do as humans have.
It doesn't help that they feel emotions much, MUCH more intensely than we do

Is this that a magical girl joke, in addition of our Flower Knights being a Evangelion-reference with their basically-plug-suits uniforms? Especially considering the talk about our pilots customizing their uniforms, often towards "flowly dress stuff". I swear, if they later get small animal mascot-sidekicks too...

Hey is our Domain and powers strictly plants? Think we could get animals or even bacterial or other microbial organisms tour repertoire?
I'm telling you guys Pikmin... heck a 40k version of a purple would hilarius if scaled up given it would basically be a grot sized lil thing able to lift Space Marine Dreadnaughts.
