What is the highest speed + most number of extra actions possible? And if their are multiple equal methods for achieving this, which is cheapest?
(Not btw to play. Taking 12+ actions per turn is not how to make friends with your fellow players. Just an exercise in optimization.)

not shore about movement rate
not shore about movement rate but in terms of actions the limit on speed is 4 and the limit on mental speed is +2. these are hard limits, even if you can find 10 different +1 speed implants that all stack you still cant go above speed 4.
of cause if you translate action to weapons fired down range it gets more complicated when we consider tele-operation. this obscenity is best achieved using an info morf in an idelon granting speed 4 mental speed +2 for a total of 12 mental actions/turn. each of these actions can be used not just to control one drone but a cluster of drones that are close together and attacking the same target. (close together is undefined but probably defends on the target size and engagement range. for the urban combat ranges most likely in the game i assume 1 meter.) you can easily get 8 guardian bots with 1 handed rail-guns mounted flying in close formation. a 3 round burst from each of 8 bots will flat out kill almost any target so the second burst goes to a different target. so you can obliterate 24 targets each round, single handed (sort of)
as a bonus return fire has to hit each of the drones separately so even a good shot from the enemy only reduces your threat slightly, although a well placed grenade could take out an entire squad
there is the issue that the guardians have only speed one so each of the 12 actions you get will have to operate a separate squad. so to do this your going to need to have 96 guardians with mounted rail-guns, and possibly some spares, and some servitor bots to reload guns. this could attract attention you don't want.

oh, and there is no hard
oh, and there is no hard limit to how badly you can damage the action economy by forking.
you could easily become 10 forks (the amount that can be run on the remote server) each controlling 12 squads of 8 guardians for a total of 240 targets destroyed in each round by 960 drones.
