Are "Creativity" and "Luck" racial abilities worthwhile?

Does anyone pick these? How useful are they?

Creativity and Luck are both cheap (1 pt) racial ability picks that give seemingly large bonuses (+25%), but it's not very clear how they work or how much impact they have.

Is it a 25% factor increase to some existing chance - ie: your base chance was 10%, so now it's 12.5%? Or an overall increase of 25% - ie: you base chance was 10%, now it's 35%. Big difference in effect!

Does anyone swear by either of these abilities, or are they mostly ignored?

i always take luck and it seems to work since ive had only two planets out of 5 games that were class 7+ that dont have a bonus tile and in one game i found two lucky rangers within a couple of turns of eachother, but havent finished that game

I may be way off here, but I suspect that the "string of lucky rangers" thing is experienced by people who are outgunned militarily and have the "luck" attribute.
