To answer in short...

You need to hire some actual gunnery crew. Cruise around Argon space until you discover a ship with a name like "Military Transport ###". Target it, hit "I" to see it's Info and use Page Down to view its destination. Use jumpdrive to get there ahead of it, then dock and wait for it to arrive.

Once it has arrived you can "buy" a number of trained gunnery crew. How many you get is random, but goes down the longer you leave between the transport docking and you hiring the crew.

Once you have sufficient crew you will be able to use the new command. The number of crew needed depends on the class of ship and in some cases the Race. An Argon Nova needs just one man to man its little turret, M6's need 5 per turret iirc, bigger ships need more.

For full details read the gunnery crew readme .PDF which will be in a folder "Readme/lieber-something german" in the X2 game folder.
