Thought I'd save someone some time and post their words of wisdom. These posts have been coming every night since Pub 21, enjoy.
I ran one NPC mission today and all I got was some slicing junk. Where's my LS Speed +30 CA??? Did they nerf out loot today?

I don't know why the smuggler loot is being refered to as junk. if it was junk, you would sell it at a junk dealer.
Just cause it does not directly contibute to BH. We smuggler need this loot as much as you need the BH loot.
So when I get a ICB from a mark and nothing else, i still consider it to be a good loot. However it is much better with the BH spacific loot too, like the armor schematics.
Just my 2 republic credits worth.

5 CAs and 4 BH armor schems so far tonight. Pretty much every other mark coughing up something nice. Making up for nothing but Slicing components the previous two days.

Out of 20 level 1 BH missions I looted 18 simple toolkits - these are needed for level 2 smuggler slices, and certainly aren't junk - the funny thing is that "new" smugglers find them hard to come by, they're tricky loot drops from other mobs, and whereas lots of existing smugglers will have a lot of them converted from old tools with the slice revamp, new smugglers won't know how easy they are for BH's to obtain. I actually have some smuggler skills so I'm glad they're dropping, but if you want to make some friends, give them away for nowt on your galaxy trade

I've actually not looted any simple of fine crafted toolkits. I just seem to loot the advanced stuff - not that i'm complaining. I still have some factory crates of the old kits lying around so i can just convert them as and when required.
But, as a smuggler, i dont complain when all i loot is a smuggler kit. These were priced to hell and back when the new slicing system first came in which is probably why they increased the drops so much. If i have the kits on me i slice peoples weapons for free anyway as the kits are easily obtainable and i like doing it.
I can't really lose taking out npc bounties constantly for the last week or so as i'm still only halfway into inv 4, i'm having fun, occasionally i loot something different such as an AA or CA, i've almost got a complete set of BH schems now and i've learnt a lot about life on the other side since jedi became boring.

I assume there's some sort of scale involved, last time I was BH was well before the Smuggler changes and BH loot revamp. I've not yet taken a box in Invest, was planning to cap out first... not sure if I'll miss out on loot that I would have gotten at the first box, but I'm sure I'll live
