Do the tokens received only count as "tokens" or can they work as orders?
Example:
My ISD has a navigate command coming up this round, but what I need is a Squadron command.
During start phase i get a squadron token from Tarkin- can I store the navigate command as a token and use the squadron token as a command?
It seems to me they are restricted to the less powerfull tokens and cannot be used as commands, but I figured I`d ask just in case
No, the tokens must be used as a token, but you certainly could store the navigate command as a token.
Edit: The only way you can use a token as a command is if you have the support officer upgrade Nav Team, which allows you to use your nav tokens as the full command. Otherwise, there is currently no way to use the other tokens as full commands.
Note: The ISD doesn't have the support officer upgrade, so you can't put Nav Team on it.
Edited by ianedigerI think all are command. The difference is between token and dial.
Anyway play with defense or weapon liason. They can change your token for dial.

They Do not.
What Tarkin gives out are Tokens , it is exactly the same as if you had a command that you did not want to execute this turn , and instead, banked it as a Token for later.
Tokens give out lesser effects than their associated commands. However, using a Token does count as a Resolution of that command for upgrades that require that Resolution.

This is not entirely accurate. Resolving any tokens count as a resolving the command, just with a lesser reward as Dras stated (I suspect this was just a poor choice of words and not a misunderstanding of the rule on your part). However, your implication that Nav Team effectively lets you use a token for the full effect of the command as if they had used a dial is incorrect. Nav Team lets you EITHER change speed or increase a Yaw, but the dial lets you do BOTH. Nav Team lets your tokens be more flexible than a normal token, but it does not let a token have the same full effect as a dial.

To the first part, yes, it was just bad choice of words. And I guess I've been using the dial wrong, then.
