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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Yea seriously. Efficiency, folks!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

But... Protocols! 🥺

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

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.

Will Zhu Li be your pilot?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

That series was so good!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years 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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years 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.

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?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Pretty much silence, yeah lol.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

When Adam Savage was doing flight training for the mythbusters U2 episode, the Blue Angels pilot would say, "aaaand HIT IT" when he pulled the high G maneuvers.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Maybe in their heads they are like BRRRRR🚀

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

“Let’s hit it”

It’s what I say when I leave the house with my kids

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

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!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I already quote Mario’s “Let’s a go!” whenever I’m trying to get my family into the car. It’d be a hoot to break that out each time and watch my bridge crew try to contain the groans and eye rolls.

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Excuse me, are you saying meow?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

"bark! bark! bark!"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years 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".

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

"Let's boogie"

Although perhaps I'd change it if my bridge crew stood up and started funking on down, rather than taking the ship to warp.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years 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?'

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Leeeeeroooooyyy Jeeeeennnnkins

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

"Let's do eet!!"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

For me, the only thing I can come up with that sounds right is “Kick It” :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

"Time's up, let's do this" while my helm yells "STICK TO THE PLAN!" at me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

“Fuck 21st century physics. FTL, bitches!”

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

My reply was the same back on Reddit...

Andale! Andale! Arriba! Arriba!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

nake it clap!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

"Make it go, helmsman." 👉

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

"Move, bitch!"

I don't think Ortega's would like that one much.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Why aren’t we moving yet?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

"In your own time."
