    My searches on this always lead to the same answer: I just can "hack" access to an entity AND with BOTH the index and the version.
    I have an (native)array of Entities and the room for that is double, because of the version that I do not need.
    Any work around, and/or ideally plans to allow direct access to an entity by its index only?
    Thanks

    If I understand what you mean, you'd like to be able to get access to an entity with just the index (ignoring version) to save memory? I'm assuming this is something you'd use only in cases where you know the target entities will not get destroyed?
