Ok I have a good understanding of the game tho what kills me 99% of the time is the ships and not having enough to hold my war front... I am guess that a high industry will mean less turns to build ships and that I need to only build ships in those star systems?

In general, specialized systems help a lot with making enough ships. This is the concept behind a forge system - high base industry, all possible ship building improvements, + an admin hero is much more efficient then building them all over.

A simple forge system might be something like a system you find early with 2-3 desert/lava planets. You may want to import population or assign an admin hero with food bonuses, but very quickly (meaning inside the first 20 turns) you can have a system like this cranking ships out.

The other big factor effecting ships is tech - and specialization matters here too; A large system with 1-2 planets that grow population fast, all the trade improvements, and a corporate hero generates trade very efficiently. On the other hand, a small system with 2 arctic/tundra planets and the fewest improvements possible generates tech very cost efficiently as well.

To avoid this unfortunate situation, you should be very quick and eficient in developing your systems. To do that you only need to spam colony ships in your home system and build food exploitation until you've reached max population in all your colonized systems. Don't worry much about industry while doing that, because as your population increases, your FIDS increase togheter, so your industry will be at least reasonable.

In general, the big factors in approval are tax rates, expansion, which planets you choose to colonize, and how much you prioritize getting to the approval techs.

As a general rule, you are not far from right to set your tax rate to 30% first turn and leave it there.

Expansion disapproval varies by difficulty. At any given level, you can figure out how much it is by expanding and checking your home systems approval. Knowing this gives you an "expansion budget".

Planet choices can matter a lot. Developing the habit of looking at each planet before you colonize it helps with this. Past that, remember that expansion approval is by system - planets do not directly effect this.

The approval techs basically add to your "expansion budget" once you get the improvements in place.

Other factors that can help are playing a faction with Optimistic and using Admin heroes with + approval abilities on systems that have issues.

Hope that helps.

In case no one has messaged you in any way, to invade a system you need to select your fleets and then choose the (probably flashing) option to invade.
