To be honest I do not like Unisystems way of calculating and using the speed attribute it is inhuman and makes no sense at all in my opinion.
First of all we use Kilometers because we are European. Second of all The speed will still be calculated in the same way as per normal con+dex*2. But the meters you can run per second will be different it will be your score divided by 6.
So this means if someone has got a speed of 30kph he she will be able to move 5 meters per second or 15 meters per round if the character chooses to move the whole round.(A Round is 3 seconds)
Seeing there are 3 seconds in a round I have thought of this construction your move action is 1 second so you can move 1/6th of your base speed, if you use your move and main action to move you get half your base speed.
For example if your base speed is 30kph and thus you can move 5 meters per second. A round consists of 3 seconds so in my opinion 1 second for your move action and 2 seconds for your main action. So your move action is one second thus 5 meters of movement, if you use your main action as well to move than you have 3 seconds of moving thus 3 seconds times 5 is 15 meters of movement.
