So this might be an obvious answer, however I never really came around playing them and thus never really thought about it.

So if I have one of the liaisons equips, do I have to discard a command token matching my desired command or an token of any kind?

so can I discard an engineering token to trigger a weapons liaison or does it have to be an squad token for squads or an con-fire for con-fire?

Any token. If it were required to be matching, it would say 🙂

Well that’s great thanks, a small additional question:

On an SSD (or any huge ship for that matter) would it work timing wise to discard the automatically gained token to change the dial I just revealed?

No. The huge ship gets its extra token when it reveals its command dial. The liaisons happen before revealing a command dial.
