What does creative do?

Can anybody please explain exactly what the "creative" racial trait does, and exactly what "breakthroughs" are in this game?

I can't really add anything to this as I don't have the game yet, but it would be good to know indeed

Btw: congratulations to your quadruple-post (which, I believe, was not intended and rather caused by the forum being laggy again..)

From the manual:
"Creativity will lead to your race randomly discovering technoligies from time to time"

A description of all the civ abilities is on pg 10-11.

I THINK it increases the chance your survey ships have when exploring an anomaly to get the "research breakthrough" bonus. When this happens, you get a free 25% of the total research needed to discover the current tech you are working on, which is great on expensive techs.

Creativity randomly gives you free RPs towards your current research goal.
