What is with these two skills? HULL Upgrades clearly has the word "Hull" in it but improves Armor HP!

When you think of Mechanic Work, you think of improving armor, yet it improves Hull HP!

These two skills should really have their bonuses swapped

Dude you just need to pay attention, and learn to read the descriptions before putting your skills to train.
A change in the skills would help, but think about someone that has trained hull upgrades to lvl 5 and don't have mechanic at lvl 5, changing this sort of thinks without bringing problems with it is something that I'm not sure CCP can handle.
Sometimes is just better to keep things the way they are before something bad happens. Like why after 8 years we still don't have a "character selection" button, we must log off and restart the client to be able to switch char, or why just some time ago we got drones fixed and showing their real stats (base on the char skills) and not the standard stats.

Learn to live with it or take by this way "Oh sh!t it's a trap dude".

Actually lol, this has nothing to do with me at all or what I've trained. The names and their bonuses just seem kinda contradictory

Mechanic skill improves *structure* hp. "hull hp" is not an official term.

Armor is attached to the hull, so its a hull upgrade. Hull is basic ship structure so mechanic would work on that alot. A specialized mechanic might work on armor or module repair.

Think of a Ford Chevy, the hull is the aluminum body to it and engine suppose a mechnic works on. Then think of the metal Steel frame that could be added to the aluminum to upgrade it in a since. Also that would work well with adding huge tires and raising it as well. Be a pimp Ford Chevy then.
