Useless? Hidden functionality not mentioned in the tooltip?
Are Bajorans and other Creative bridge officers useless, or is this inherent somehow valuable to them?
Creative Bridge Officers will be more effective in ground combat, as the trait implies. There is no other systematic benefit to the creative trait aside from the personal benefit that these characters receive during away team missions.
Creative grants a natural bonus to critical hit chance. Basic Creative I think is a 2% bonus. I'm not sure what the specific bonus of Creative is, but it is more than 2%.
The trait has at least one other characteristic, but my mind is blank on that one right now.
Is that the one that say something about Kits? From what I understand all traits that affect kits for kitless BOs do something besides just to kits. I'm not sure what but the bonus is there.
Well, for PCs Creative buffs the effects of kits. As the abilities provided by kits are essentially the same as BOff ground skills, could it be that the BOff creative trait buffs their ground skills?

What is the real effect of Creative?
I think I remember a dev saying in open beta that the bonus applied to the bridge officer's ground abilities, as they don't have kits.
The description in-game for Creative mostly applies tot he trait for Captains.
In-game, if a BO is creative IIRC it gets a crit bonus during ground missions.
