Your "colony" ship has no room for colonists ;)

I usually assign weapons to fire controls at pre-battle time through the F8 window. You can also auto-assign fire controls using the Auto FC button.

There is probably a better way but go to the ships window and the combat tab on the ship in question then use the drop downs to assign
