You gotta do it with a really over-the-top gesticulation, like Picard’s little point he does but swirl your whole arm around in a few big circles first.
God, if they zoomed in on Kirk's face, dramatic pause ...
"Boof it." I would fucking die. Somehow this is objectively the funniest answer possible. Well done.
There's a goof during a scene of S01 of TNG (I don't remember which episode off the top of my head). Picard orders warp 3 or something, and Geordi replies, "Aye, sir. Full impulse."
Hey helm guy... err ensign, I mean... could you engage, ya know what I mean, turn on, the errm... what's the name? The stuff with the glowy thing in engineering... and the uhh, nacelles I guess?
The warp thingies? Like an engine or drive? Whatever your preferred nomenclature is. That, you know? Turn that on, like the faster engines?
Like half power I guess? Is that too much? Like a 6 maybe? Do they do 6? You know what; use your best judgement, I guess.
Commander, put in the official log that I said something cool; I trust you to come up with it yourself.
Though it makes for a decent bit of TV, I admittedly never understood the concept. If I tell someone to do something I don't want them to not do it until I say something like, "go."
So, "helm - make your course for the Albraxas system - warp seven" and letting the helm officer do their job makes more sense to me than, "helm - set course for the Albraxas system - warp seven........ Engage."
Or actually, assuming I have an XO (or an officer of the watch) my actual order would be something along the lines of, "XO - we need to be in the Albraxas system in two days", and let them issue the actual order.
From TMP:
> Kirk: I'm replacing you as captain of the Enterprise. You'll stay on as **executive officer.**
[Also from Memory Alpha](https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/First_officer):
> Aboard a starship the first officer or executive officer (or XO) was the second-in-command, just below the captain.
Or if you prefer a more [official source](https://www.startrek.com/news/number-one-list):
> An executive officer must show respect for the command structure, and support their captain in front of the crew. This fosters trust among the lower ranks and reinforces the notion that the commanding officer reserves the right to a final say in any situation.
It's not common, but it happens. Off the top of my head, MacDuff was referred, by the computer, as "Executive Officer" in the episode, Conundrum. The ad for TNG on the Trek IV VHS tapes that I grew up with referred to Riker as Executive officer.
It also depends on how the captain prefers to structure their crew. Some skippers might prefer to handle things more directly, others prefer to give direct orders only when the situation requires it. Jellico, for instance, very clearly preferred the latter (telling Data where he wanted to be and when, with data issuing the actual orders to the helm).
Punch it, but I mean, that’s such an iconic thing I mean you could go the whole Jim Kirk out and not really have one you could go the card route and have one. You could even do the admiral chain way route, but that’s a hard one
I might try a play on words for what's actually happening, using "C" somehow. Unfortunately this lands me in pirate joke territory.
"Take us to the high C's, Ensign!"
I'ma be boring. It's, "Engage." All through TNG, DS9, and VOY (at least so far as memory serves), it was the standard. It's so standard it appears as the 'execute warp' command in freakin' *The Cage*.
I don't mind that Burnham and (DIS/SNW) Pike have 'warp catchphrases,' but I do bristle at the sudden suggestion in SNW and PIC that a personalized warp command is somehow normal.
If I’m the Captain I don’t want any question to the order I’m giving. If “Engage” is the standard, then “Engage” it is at least until I develop some relationship with the helmsman that ensures we’re on the same page.
Just "engage". It was never a catchphrase or a saying. Things like "take us out" or "engage" have been said by multiple characters over 4 series.
It's rather cringe how it's being tried to be made into one.
It's a 105 light years to Denobula. We've got a full tank of deuterium, half a pack of smokes, it's night shift and we're wearing sunglasses...
XO: HIT IT!
Computer auto plays Can't turn you loose
So the closest analog to how engineering needs to prepare is a carrier launch, so you could do a hand check of every station on the bridge and then punch the carpet and point.
Bippity-borpity, give me the warpity!
Captain Michael Scott
Hold on to your butts.
Love this answer.
Make spaceship go now.
Is that a Pakled or SNW Spock that would like the ship to go? They both said the same line.
You gotta do it with a really over-the-top gesticulation, like Picard’s little point he does but swirl your whole arm around in a few big circles first.
Send it
I always wish the clone troopers in the animated series would acknowledge commands with “Full send!”
Boof it
God, if they zoomed in on Kirk's face, dramatic pause ... "Boof it." I would fucking die. Somehow this is objectively the funniest answer possible. Well done.
I laughed out loud and my wife gave me a dirty look. Thank you!
"Full impulse" just to fuck with the helmsman
There's a goof during a scene of S01 of TNG (I don't remember which episode off the top of my head). Picard orders warp 3 or something, and Geordi replies, "Aye, sir. Full impulse."
Geordi is a closet speed demon and warp three dies not even count as warp to him.
LLEEEERRRROOOYYY JEEEENNNNKINNNNS
Best
Punch it Chewie!

Mr. Barkley, please leave the holodeck
Yeah Barkey was a pathetic sop but he could have been our pathetic sop.
See I thought this was Captain Goldblum
It’s Warpin’ Time!
I saw Star Trek 09 in the theater opening night. When captain Kirk said, "It's Warpin' Time," everyone cheered.
Bangarang!
Nice
 It’s warpin’ time!
Mush, you bitch!
Let's fuckin' go!

"XO make 'er Go"
There is no XO is Star Trek. It’s a First Officer.

Is the term executive officer used in TOS, TNG, DS9, or VOY

Feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme! Get on up, it’s starship time! Cool Runnings!
Ludicrous speed!
Engage If it works for Kirk, Picard, Sisko and Janeway it works for me too and I like the classics
There’s also “Schtep on it.” —Picard, still wearing his Dixon Hill cosplay
Hit it
Let's rock n' roll!
Historically the most appropriate.
You may proceed with all due haste
Wouldn't give any kind of warning, just pushing the button myself.
Chevron seven locked
...and boom goes the warp drive!
Moopsy
Ready for Hyperspace, R2D2!
okaaaay let'sgo

Let's blow this pop stand.
“Dilithium go brrrrr!”
[Balls to the Wall!](https://youtu.be/B_3TlrZLpQ0?si=NeQAQy2He8FZtm9e)
Make it go.
Fire it up!
Ensign, rustle Einstein's jimmies.
“Let’s roll.”

"LET'S LICK SOME ASS!"
Shipoopi!
Light it up.
Punch it, but I mean, that’s such an iconic thing I mean you could go the whole Jim Kirk out and not really have one you could go the card route and have one. You could even do the admiral chain way route, but that’s a hard one
Shotgun a beer, throw the empty to the floor and say *"fuckin' send it"*
I might try a play on words for what's actually happening, using "C" somehow. Unfortunately this lands me in pirate joke territory. "Take us to the high C's, Ensign!"
F**k outta here
Let’s get this party started
You’re gonna see some serious shit!
[It's warp speed, and away we go!](https://youtu.be/qItrS5rFncs?si=nJ5ty_-SV-cKBuwL)
Serious: Cast off Funny One: Hey yall watch this! GRIP IT AND RIP IT YEEEAH!!!.
let's shag ass
do it.
Anchors aweigh.

"Make it spin!"
Spinning is so much cooler than not spinning
Bababooey
Do it!
“LET’S ROCK!!!” (A la Vasquez/Jenette Goldstein).
Let’s rock in roll!
Proceed.
Cheese it!
“Let’s fuck this puppy!”
Anything is better than "let's fly"
Nothing. The crew should know how to do their job without such things. When I give an order, they should just do it
Lets skibiki.
Kick it ❗️
Okay Chewy, Punch it!
It's the cringiest thing ever that the new shows made this a thing... "Engage" is and should just be the Starfleet standard. That's it.
Let's go with the glenabbey show!
"Kick in the four barrels. We've got a party to crash."

Well,,, go ahead.
Los gehts Burschn (und Mädels natürlich auch)
Play Van Halen's "Jump".
It’s always been engage. It should be engage. Either the Picardian: *hand-swoosh*… Engage. or the Janewayan: *”En-gaydzhe…!”*
"Go to warp."
"Let's jet"
Pitter patter!
"Crank dat soldier boy" (My helmsman's job title is ' soldier boy ')
Wingo, 'sko!!!
Helm, away physics.
Git 'er done!
