Hey Chirone, Thanks for the comments, I have a fair idea of what the overall mothership will look like, and how the pods will join with it, it'll definitely involve the wings folded down and attached to the mothership.
I knew I'd need to rig the pods for docking purposes so I've just learnt how rigging works, and rigged the pod!

This is close to how it may look docked,with clamps holding it in place.
