'Everyone in the chair has their thing.' So what would be your thing?
Punch it!
Punch it!
Either "lets fucking gooooooo" roared at full volume.
Or "do the thing" in a barely audible mumble.
And crew would never know which to expect.
From many hours of playing as captain in PULSAR: The Lost Colony, it's usually one of: "Whenever you're ready", "Can we please just go now", or "Fine, I'll do it myself".

This businesss with a catchphrase is too corny and meta. Keep it simple and direct, like Kirk did: "Ahead warp factor 8, Mister Sulu."
Seems like Starfleet would have a selection of 5 allowable "Engage" variations lol so that everyone get's trained on how to know when to go
I've decided that to combat people on the Threadiverse just assuming everyone else is from the US, like we had with Reddit, I'll be talking how I normally talk here.
So my thing would be "howay!" (pronounced like a fast "howie") or possibly "gan on, then!"
On a ship capable of traveling the mycelial network like on DSC, "Make it spin!" Because I would be familiar with Stargate SG-1 in Star Trek. When IPs collide, a nebula spawns a star.
Otherwise, "Let's go!"
Who the fuck put me here aaaaaaaaaaaah
Disregarding that: "Reingehauen!" (I specifically requested this not be translated)
Missed opportunity for Spock to just point like Picard and say, "Make it go."
So that'd be me, only if Mariner is there to get the joke
