Star Destroyer - Life Support and Hangar

The life support pod was created using a sphere for the main shape and a small pipe was inserted into the bottom. The only problem I ran into was creating the 4 struts on the sphere as I did not know how to go about creating this, in the end I settled with 2 pipes that I scaled the faces inwards to turn the original pipe shape into a thin ring and then moving them to form around the sphere. I took the bottom faces near the pipe shape on the bottom and moved them up inside the main sphere to hide them, looking back this was not a good idea instead I should have either used to Boolean difference tool to create the shape I wanted or delete the faces on the bottom.
