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 3 points 2 years ago

Yea seriously. Efficiency, folks!

[–] emptyother@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

But... Protocols! 🥺

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] aedyr@lemmy.ca 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.

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?

[–] danielquinn@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

That series was so good!

[–] Voltron64@startrek.website 6 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Ensign_Seitler@startrek.website 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.

[–] JJMcGee83@startrek.website 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] OutrageousUmpire@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)
[–] FormerGameDev@midwest.social 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Excuse me, are you saying meow?

[–] evan@cosocial.ca 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] CCatMan@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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?

[–] name_NULL111653@pawb.social 3 points 2 years ago

Pretty much silence, yeah lol.

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 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.

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

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

[–] Commod0re@startrek.website 4 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

[–] porthos@startrek.website 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

"bark! bark! bark!"

[–] T156@lemmy.world 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.

[–] Shut_up_Wesley@startrek.website 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Thorry84@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

Leeeeeroooooyyy Jeeeeennnnkins

[–] DeceptiKHAAAN@startrek.website 2 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!

[–] Loccy@feddit.uk 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.

[–] Cassilda@startrek.website 2 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".

[–] albert@lemmy.sysctl.io 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] reallychris@lemmy.world 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?'

[–] Crowdpleazr@startrek.website 2 points 2 years ago

“Let’s hit it”

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

[–] einval@lemmy.einval.net 1 points 2 years ago

"Make it go, helmsman." 👉

[–] GrinningLlama@startrek.website 1 points 2 years ago

"Let's do eet!!"

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

"Move, bitch!"

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

[–] bluedepth@startrek.website 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] jerrimu@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

nake it clap!

[–] neia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

"In your own time."

[–] NVariable@startrek.website 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Xaphanos@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

My reply was the same back on Reddit...

Andale! Andale! Arriba! Arriba!
