How do you recruit new fleets in the Imperial campaign?

I'm currently sitting on turn sixty, with four of the sectors claimed but I only have the 4 fleets they give you from the story with no apparent way of buying more despite having 4 fleet slots apparently available? Not sure if I just have a bug, am being blind or what but any help would be much appreciated.

If i`m not mistaken, at the start of the campaign, you have 6 slots available 2\2\2 for each faction. You can recruit new fleet, in any system, just click on a "plus" icon on an empty fleet slot. The more level you have - the more available fletts you can have, you will reach a total of 16 fleets on 15 level if i`m not mistaken

SO where your ship sits in a system one of the 3 fleet slots there will be a blue floating button. you can push that to buy another admiral to build a new fleet. mind you you can only have 3/3 imperial navy an 2/3 space marines for example. so if you can't buy a admiral it probably cause you are maxed on that factions fleets.

if you mean, how do you get more slots for fleets no idea,i think its tied to levels. but you can rush getting admirals buy evolving certain planets.

also how the hell did you make it to turn 60 with 4 fleets, at turn 40 i have 6 fleets and am paranoid to lose a ship never mind a fleet. i have 2 fleets going around together at all times thanks to the insane tryinid invasions. 3 in 3/4 sectors except Cadia.

NOW i have to invade two sectors and am worried on what to leave for a defensive force. do i leave to fleets to watch all 4 sectors? i can't buy more fleets. or else i would for guard duty.

any tips would be great by the way :)

Ok yeah, clicking the plus around the planet is what I was missing thanks. As for how I made it that far.... dunno, lots of light cruisers, lots of boarding actions and a very hectic time. Thanks
