How do I access commander reserves?

[Waryth]

It says my reserve is full but I I never had this issue before but its full.

click your commander, below him you will find 2 tabs, one for reserves and 1 for the ones on ships already

Yes I can see that before I asked here but I can't access my commander reserves unless the "reserves" its talking about is a ship without a commander.

I recall having all ships with commanders and can assign a commander to reserve back then so I assume there's a reserve interface.

What exactly are you trying to do? I do not understand fully.

When you click your commander for a list of commanders for assigning to a ship, there's two tabs above that list, one is your reserves, and one is commanders already assigned to ships. They're always there, and you don't need a ship without a commander to see either of them.

If it`s full, assign one of your commanders from the reserves tab to a ship of same nation. If you do not have any ships without commanders you can dismiss one by right-clicking him and select dismiss. That will free up a spot and your newly aquired commander will take this place (assuming this is your problem).

There are only 8 slots available in reserves unless you do a certain campaign mission which gives you 3 more slots.

This is my problem.

So the reserve slot is just a vacant commander slot for ship of the same nation then?

Okay I see it now. I was looking for the expansion button thing.

The reserve slots are for commanders of every nation, but there is only 8 slots available total, untill you unlock 3 more through a campaign mission(cant remember the name). So be careful when dismissing commanders, I would keep high skilled and special captains.

Edit: The campaign is "honorable service" mission 3, task 6 and it actually gives you 4 more slots, not 3 as I said earlier.
