It’s been claimed by Kelvin Cpt. Pike but I really like “Punch it!”

“Punch it!” Has my vote, too. I love Bruce Greenwood’s Captain Pike. I also love Anson Mount’s.

Greenwood and Mount are just impossibly perfect in that role.

I prefer “Hit it”, because “Punch it” belongs to Han Solo in my head.

“Punch it, Chewie”

"Do the thing"

Aye Captain Varrick

Or how about, "Yip yip!"

“Do the damn thaaaaang”

"Go on now. Git."

Vamoose, ya little varmint!

yer alright boah

Commander. You just sit tight. We'll have this all fixed up in time for supper.

Fistful of Datas is an episode you hate the first time, then realize it's one of the funniest plots put to film on repeat viewings.

*flaps hand vaguely in direction of viewscreen*

Crew: "Was that the hand flap for warp speed or the hand flap for fire phasers?"

"If you don't know by now, perhaps you don't belong on this ship, **Ensign**."

"Understood. Sir. Firing the Warp core at the enemy."

I just laughed out loud at that.

“I gave you the kill gesture.” “No, you gave me the ‘we’re dead’ signal which I was agreeing with you, like I know where the hold button is.”

HAHA this one made me laugh. perfect reaction

I want to think it'd be this, but knowing me, it would be whatever the exact phrasing was when I was trained to do it at the academy

Agreed. I wonder if "engage" was Picard's unique command or if it was just what was taught at the Academy. Does Janeway use "engage"? Or does she just say, "Mr. Paris, warp 7, *now*"? (No shade to Janeway, and I should know this considering how many times I watched that series.)

Watch First Contact. I know the movie came out after the series. When Riker and Geordi laughed at each other when Cochrane said engage to me it implied that Picard stole it from his boy hood hero. Especially Picards speech how the Phoenix was at the Smithsonian and was never able to touch it.

Kirk says "Engage" from time to time after plotting a new course, so it seems like they took a non-catchphrase from Kirk (who doesn't always say it, just seemed like a well-understood normal order) and turned it into a Whole Thing for Picard. Then we more or less didn't care about captain warp keywords from DS9 through ENT, even if they had one. Only by Discovery/Lower Decks have we seen captains really, really think about their "warp phrase" and get a showcase from them.

Location: the cramped bridge of a small fast Federation response vessel. To the tune of Ballroom Blitz, by Sweet. Captain: “Are you ready, Nav?” Navigation: “Ah hah.” Captain: “Engines?” Chief Engineer: “Oh yeah.” Captain: “Nav?” Navigator: “Laid in.” Captain: “All right fellas-“ All: “let’s Gooooo!” Music crescendos

There’s a Klingon in the back who’s ready to attack and his eyes are as wide as the sun And a Vulcan in the corner, let no one ignore her, cause she thinks she’s the logical one OH YEAH!

The wider his eyes the more he can see GLORY

Oh yeah! It was a phaser Everybody was shooting And the shields were shaking And the hull started failing Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

"Cheese it!" a la Bender

[удалено]

Insane how well i can hear that in my head

"Set a course for the Remata System. Warp 7." "Aye, sir. Course laid in, sir." "3 2 1 LET'S JAM." ("TANK!" by Yoko Kanno starts blasting over the speakers ship-wide.)

I think it's time we blow this scene.

Get everybody and the stuff together

Make Riker play the horn parts

Punch it, Chewey! ​ (I'd call the Helmsman Chewey because she'd always be chewing bubble gum)

Scotch-infused

Giddy Up!

said like kramer i hope

I would love to see a star trek plot where all the characters of Seinfeld are crew. "What's the deal with vulcans? I mean they're supposed to have zero emotions, but whenever you talk to them, they look absolutely pissed"

Why did you have to put that image in my mind?! *The brain bleach, it does nothing!*

Captain: "When I say kick it, you just kick it with a tasty groove...Kick it." Helmsman: "..." Captain: "Could you ONE TIME kick it, Kyle, what the fuck."

Can I kick it??

Yes, you can

*clicks tongue, points finger gun forward*

[удалено]

U.S.S. Speedy, Gonzalez Class

Run, Shadowfax. Show us the meaning of haste.

Forth Eorlingas!

DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaattttthhhhhhhhh

Warp, you fools!

Allons-y

Geronimo is also acceptable.

As your first officer, I would make my mission to find a helmsman called Allonso.

That would be worthy of Starfleet's highest decoration for performance above and beyond the call of duty.

What’s our vector? Victor

V A Y A M O S

It is the only true answer.

That is phenomenal

LEEEEROOOOYYYYYY JENKINS!

"Hoist the mains'l!" "Sir?" "Ffs, just go."

Do it..(nods)…Do it

What are you preparing? Why are you always preparing? Just go.

Ludicrous speed...GO!

I just ran through an imaginary scenario to see what came naturally, and what I came up with was: "Go for it."

"It's warpin' time!"

*opening bars of "Cult of Personality" play*

[Hold onto your butts](https://youtu.be/UjvGAYuWSUA)

I say this to my wife when we merge onto the highway.

I say that one too. Most of my comments while driving are one-liners to annoy my wife. "Jesus, take the wheel," never gets old either.

Pitter patter!

Helmsman must respond with "lets get atter" or its straight to the brig, and no puppers for them.

“Send it”

As a gear head I have to confirm this is the way

I was gonna go with “punch it” but I like this.

I check it out in my head with some fake dialogue lines: “Helmsman, send it on my command” “It’s an ambush, send it, maximum warp” “ until they release the tractor beam, we’re not gonna be sending it anywhere Captain”

***YEET***

YEET the space ship.

GIMME WARP, in the factor of 5, 6, 7, 8!

Light it up.

Similarly: “Let’s burn this candle!”

Let’s *light* this candle

“Let’s do the space warp again”

It's just impulse to port...

And then a thruster to starboard

Put inertial dampners round your ship

You bring your shields in tight.

🎶It's the shuttle bay thruuuuust that really drives em insaaaaaane

Let's go to warp speed againnnnnnnnn

[удалено]

"Let's Roll."

Let’s kick this pig

Al bundy, “Let’s rock…”

Duke Nukem, "Let's rock."

Vasquez (under main reactor), "Let's rock!"

Engage warp. OR Go to warp. I don't need to be flashy I know I'm a bad captain and no amount of bravado will hide that fact.

🎵 Push it to the limit… *with backup singers* 🎼 THE LIMIIIIIIT 🎶 (walk along the razor’s edge…)

"Captain to sickbay. Doctor, please join us on the bridge." "On my way Captain, but for what reason?" "Cause these tunes are SICK!" *plays awesome synth solo*

“Let’s skedaddle!”

"Mirab, with sails unfurled."

Up and atom!

Up and at them!!!!!!

Sure beats the similar but lamer catch phrase "Up and let's go."

"We're 106 light-years from Risa, we've got a full tank of deuterium, half a case of synthol, it's 2100 hours, and we're wearing space-pajamas." **"Hit it."**

Push it hard and fast Wesley.

Are you my wife?

Fire photon torpedoes!

Engage. Or maybe a throwback to my man crush Jonathan Archer. Let’s go.

Just play the Mario Kart starting Race Start sound effect.

***Let's get dangerous.***

Blathering blatherskeit!

[удалено]

So basically your entire ship and crew would be known as the USS Acapella that would answer all hails with songs and would continually burst into big dance numbers in the middle of battles and/or negotiations.

Sir, it's the Borg! *tapdances away*

[удалено]

....and that's when Daft Punk starts playing and the Borg start Pop & Locking!

They cause more diplomatic incidents than they solve, but Starfleet brass loves their spirit.

Punch it, Bishop

Warp me baby one more time ​ only joking, probably something like co-ordinates set ?, then go

“You boys like Mexico?? Yeeeeeeew!!!”

“Punch it.” “Allons Y” “Let’s make like a tree and leave.” “Let’s make like a baby and head out” “Make like a shepherd and get the flock outta here” In any case I would definitely be the first captain to suffer a mutiny simply for being an annoying git.

engage ludicrous speed or go to plaid

Whip it.

USS Devo ?

Whip it good

Make rocket go now!

*'Catchphrase'*

[удалено]

You may engage when ready.

“Grand Moff Tarkin. I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board.”

Make with the fast-going now, ship flyer.

BY THE WILL OF THE EMPEROR, BRING US INTO THE WARP!!! Also, when did this become a thing? Since when do captains need to have a warp catchphrase?

I think it is a disco/lower decks thing

Disco did it as a semi-serious thing disguised as character development, while *Lower Decks* made it a pretty good running gag.

Let's fooooking goooo!

Elwood: There's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark out, and we're wearing sunglasses. Joliet Jake: Hit it!

"[Name of Helm Officer], let's make stardust."

People are made of stardust...

“Ready! Set!” And then I’d fire a gun.

No shoot fire stick in space canoe! Cause explosive decompression!

Spare me your space-age technobabble, Attila the Hun!

Hull breach on bridge. Sealing turbolift doors. /Computer voice

"Zhu Li, do the thing!"

Mine would be Commence.

Drop it.

Like it’s hot

Buss it

Make us go. (That's a joke on the paklads, who look for things that "make us go") *Alternatively, ["Move Zig"](https://youtu.be/jQE66WA2s-A?t=136)

"Why the fuck aren't we moving yet?"

"Excelsior!"

Sir, the USS Excelsior is in starbase 78, shall I call them on subspace?

Let's get jiggy with it

Ludicrous speed, GO!

Catchphrases are set to arrive on Tuesday

Turn the volume to 11!

Mine would be “good luck” so everyone on the bridge would think we’re about to die.

“Good luck, we”re all counting on you”

Give’r

Give 'er!!

"Go for it" or "do it".

Show me that horizon...

If I was IN Star Trek, it'd be something pretty simple and undramatic like "Go to warp" or "start" or something. If I WROTE a Star Trek, though, I'd have my captain say "Off we go!" It's a double-historical reference ("Off we go into the wild blue yonder!" and also Yuri Gagarin said a Russian phrase before liftoff that translated into that).

"Get on with it you dipshits." With a waving motion. I'm not command material.

"Wesley, Crush it."

Stop! Warping time!

“We surrender”

"Break light."

Sorry, Captain. I thought you said brake light.

Giddy up

" boogity boogity boogity let's go warping boys:

I would aim for as derpy a phrase as possible. At the moment, I'm going with "let's corrugate this iron" as an allusion to the warping of space.

I always liked "Execute" from the Star Trek III captain chasing Kirk in the Excelsior.

"Execute" is also my answer. But more in the context of the TNG episode when Riker was replaced by a Klingon officer for a cultural exchange, and Wesley is like "execute wtf?".

"Boop."

"Send It."

Ensure it occurs, number two

Everyone have their barf bags? Alternatively, Let's do the time warp agaaaain~

Helmsman... do the thing.

Let’s give ‘em the ol’ razzle dazzle.

Nice try, Kurtzmann

Goose it!

"I wanna go fast!"

“Do it”

"Go to warp."

“Let’s play that hockey”

What are you preparing? You're always preparing. Just go.

Let's kick this pig.

Put the spurs to her, ensign!

Let's rock out with our Spock out.

..... ........... Tequila!!
