    In 5.1, there does not seem to be a way to retreive the network timestamp of a Remote Action or Network Message. I was planning on using this to write my own interpolation (since Sync Transform in the Network Transform script does not seem to have functioning interpolation yet).

    Am I missing something, or is there really not a way to retrieve this info?

    By looking at some of the built-in network messages, it doesn't look like this information is stored anywhere...

    Will this be coming in the future? Or should I switch to another way of networking like Photon?

    You could just add a timestamp to the message structure manually.
