This theory has been thrown around in the other forums for quite a while now, and after experiencing it myself with the BH item drops, I gotta believe that somehow the Loot is just drying up on days when the server isn't reset.
Others have experienced this with Krayt Item drops as well.
Today alone I've looted 3 CA's, 2 stacks of really nice Weapon components smuggler stuff, dmg crystal. etc. etc.
Yesterday all I got was smuggler stuff and foraged bugs.
The Day before that I got 3 CA's again, a power crystal, and some Weapon components, smuggler stuff. etc.
Day before that I got Smuggler stuff, Bugs, a warm hat. etc.
I'm tellin ya, keep an eye on it. There's something wrong with the servers that causes the loot only to be good on days when they are taken down and reset.

if there is ANY truth to this theory, it may be due to the fact that they used to reboot the server every day weather it needed it or not... so with that implementation in mind, they may have just coded a certain amount of loot into the server, and it resets every time it's restarted *shrug*
sounds more like just bad luck to me though...

back when i was a Black Sun Farmer, i figured this out... after the server reset I would look 1 bounty hunter armor piece per hour. Then as the week went buy I could 50 BS in a row and get nothing

Good thing I bought a crate of 25 after so many getting nuked from NPC marks and travel

I'm gonna run some extensive testing on BH marks drop rate (normal/elite/elite boss), drop rate after reset/without reset and such, with some help from other BHs 
I'll post something as soon as I have some relevant data.

Well tonight I just made MBH, 2nd to last mission grinding investigation a 60 silver-bar mark dropped a +7LS CA. My last mission before MBH was another 60 silver mark. He dropped an illegal core booster(if this a good loot I do not know)and a painting. Usually they drop just trandoshan interframes.

On Chilastra me and my Guildie BH friend have definitely found loot to be much better on Server Reset Days.
Server Reset Days I get CA's, Crystals, A few BH schems and the usual Smuggler stuff. and some weapon comps.
Non Server days I tend to get AA's BH schems, smuggler stuff early in the day, and late at night it drops down to just smuggler stuff.
Of course I know there are exceptions to this, but on the whole Server reset days are much better. I would appreciate it if you guys would keep track and report back. I'm very interested to know if you have the same findings or not.
