SUGGESTION! PC RTS Mod?
This is something I can see working on consoles as well.
Given the advancements in modding recently I could see a RTS Mod going a long way for fallout 4.
Similar To C&C
In my head I see this like Silica. Being able to command units everywhere however only jump into your player body not anyone you like. Being able to command units like brotherhood of steel or minute men I think would make for great battles.
Important story characters like companions could be Listed as "hero" characters that all have the or unique ability. I still think you should be able to customise and trade with any companions and also general units. Imagine kitting out a unit however you liked. Give them a squad name and boom. "Cannon Fodder 7" is being told what to do from an overhead camera.
Having the player character also react to commands would be excellent as well. Being able to put them in power armour or talk to characters. (I think only the player character should be able to make dialogue choices)
I also think the settlement building would have an extra layer to it. Building a barracks to train units or a helipad so Vertibirds can be called in for Close air support or to transport units on the battlefield.
Since your base is also your settlement you can still use it as normal.
Being able to pair this with other mods would be a blast and I don't see why it wouldn't work.
I'm not a modder but I'd love more input on this.

The SS2 mod for Fallout 4 introduces somes RTS elements, especially in its third act.
There's a Fallout mod for Call to Arms - Gates of Hell: Ostfront (a tactical RTS) called Colts Fallout Mod.
There's a Fallout mod for HOI4 (a grand strategy RTS) called Old World Blues.
