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 1 year ago

Yea seriously. Efficiency, folks!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

But... Protocols! 🥺

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year 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.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 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.

Will Zhu Li be your pilot?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That series was so good!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

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

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

Excuse me, are you saying meow?

"bark! bark! bark!"

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 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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] 3 points 1 year ago

Pretty much silence, yeah lol.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe in their heads they are like BRRRRR🚀

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year 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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year 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] 3 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".

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

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

“Let’s hit it”

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 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?'

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

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

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

Leeeeeroooooyyy Jeeeeennnnkins

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

nake it clap!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

"Let's do eet!!"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Why aren’t we moving yet?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

My reply was the same back on Reddit...

Andale! Andale! Arriba! Arriba!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

"Move, bitch!"

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

"Make it go, helmsman." 👉

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

"In your own time."
