I’d like quote one of Morn’s more inspirational sayings, but that might be a bit too longwinded. “Punch it” would do, I suppose.

I would train my staff that unless I say otherwise, when I give you an order I mean get the fuck on with it, not do everything and then sit there waiting for a second order.

[–] Dunewarriorz@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

Yea seriously. Efficiency, folks!

[–] emptyother@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

But... Protocols! 🥺

[–] T156@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

"Proceed." is quite good.

We could also take a leaf from the French(?) translation of Captain Picard's catchphrase and use "energise". It's a perfectly fine option.

[–] Voltron64@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago

"Let's move." Simple but effective IMHO.

[–] Commod0re@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago

not sure I could stick to just one thing, I would be the captain that sometimes says something cool and the rest of the time embarrasses/annoys the bridge crew with the worst dad jokes

Will Zhu Li be your pilot?

[–] danielquinn@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

That series was so good!

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think I'd just go with "punch it".

[–] aedyr@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

I always liked this one from Kelvinverse Pike. "Let's rock and roll" from Cochrane would also be a contender.

I know it's already used in ST: Prodigy, but I like "Go Fast!"

[–] JJMcGee83@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

Maybe "Send it" but I'd probably just say engage.

[–] Cassilda@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

Ensign, warp factor 4 on my mark... Mark.

Not everyone needs to have a "thing". Though I do like Riker's "give me warp in the factor of 5,6,7,8 snap".

My reply was the same back on Reddit...

Andale! Andale! Arriba! Arriba!

"Make it go, helmsman." 👉

oh, now we need a scene with T'Ana forced to captain the Cerritos

"bark! bark! bark!"

[–] reallychris@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

one that might play better in northern england for me - an ironic "let's 'av it". not the full on "LET'S 'AV ITTTTTTTTTTT woo" just a dead pan 'right, let's 'av it, eh?'

Shamelessly steal one of Kirk's best lines in "The City on the Edge of Forever".

"Let's get the hell out of here". Adjusting tone as appropriate for the context of course!

[–] neia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

"In your own time."

I'm more just "Let's go."

The real question is what do airplane pilots say today when they take off? Do they just sit there and push a lever in silence?

[–] JJMcGee83@startrek.website 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They request permission to take off form the tower and then yeah silence.

[–] CCatMan@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe in their heads they are like BRRRRR🚀
