10,000cu/station sounds fine, but why 10,000cu for all stations?
A few suggestions:
1. Station limits should reflect the type of station. I'd suggest 25,000 for commerce stations (since they expect to see trade goods running through), 20,000 for mining stations (expect lots of minirals), 10,000 for capital stations (they're big), 5,000 for barracks and research stations (they need room for military ships/research equiptment). Those are all arbitrary numbers and up for discussion.
2. Faction standing should affect the limit, if I'm POS that nation should extend my limit, if I'm disliked/hated I should I should have low limits at those stations. If I'm KOS I should get 0cu limit and have to pay for all storage (if I can't pay it's sold off).
3. If I overstock, but move it all/sell it all before 1 week is up, do I still have to pay the fee? I'd assume there is an initial fee?
4. Nation space (Itani/Serco/UIT/Covrus?) should have higher limits, minor factions should have lower limits.
That's all I can think off right now.

I'm just wondering- what would you want the free limit to be, in an ideal world when vendetta is finished?
Random ideas: instead of credit charges, for stockpiles over the threshold, subtract some percentage daily."looks like your giant collection of [whatever] has attracted some thieves. should have insured it."
Stockpile transport service: have a mission or some other way to get many moths of cargo between stations at once. Or maybe a one-off thing for those players over the threshold... allow big moth voys to move their cargo somewhere else. Or even just programmatically move cargoes around to nearby stations until everything's under the threshold.
On a tangent I wonder if there's some way players could formally enlist other players to move cargo around for them that is griefer-proof?

pricing scale? Well base it on faction with said station.
long as it aint too terribly expensive to up your limit to 30k, cause im over 10k in a couple stations i think
