I honestly cannot think of any real benefits for adding a settlement building and management mechanic into a RPG type game that has story based formats. It isn't only personal preference, my opinion is more on maximising and protecting the brand equity and identity of the brand.

Similarly if you build artillery at these settlements, it allows for the use of artillery strikes to be called in if your'e in range of the settlement.

Sounds like supplementary busy work that will probably be 90% irrelevant to the storyline and help excuse there being few substantive missions compared to ME3. Just like how DAI's "zones" And MMO crafting system were supposed to make that awkward and clunky main quest somehow less offensive.

Maybe this could be something that unlocks after you beat the games story and it goes towards helping you in MP part of the game. Pretty much we lay the foundations for this while playing the main game.
