Hi, I've read through the couple posts about increasing the size and they say to go into the "types\global" in the .cat and .dat folders but I have searched and searched and can't find those. I found the types
global but there's nothing in there besides for my Mars script stuff. Where do I look or is there a mod out there I can just download for this? Thanks!

To change the globals file you need to first extract it out and then modify the values in it. To extract it you need to download X3 Editor 2, install it and set it up so it points to your game directory.
After this has been set up, in X3 Editor 2 open the plugins menu at the top and select the Cat Manager. In the VFS window that appears navigate to the types folder. You should see a file named Globals.
Before you extract it go to your X installation folder in Windows and if there is not a subfolder called 'types', make it. Now you can drag and drop the Globals file from the Editor into the types folder.
The extracted file should be called Globals.txt, so open it with a text editor like notepad. Scroll through the file and you should find a line that looks like this
Change the number 6 to something higher and that will increase the storage capacity of the hub in the game.

The reason you drag it out is since if you do that it will leave the base game copy intact, and if you want to revert the changes all you have to do is delete the file.
Doing it your way will still work, however it changes the base copy of the file, meaning to revert it in the future you will have to remember the change you made and undo it.
So while your way will work it is not best practice to do so. However since this is only a one line change it doesn't really matter too much.
