I have been keeping track of the loot since the new loot revamp for BH. I know alot of people think they have changed the loot tables and the way things drop. They have been doing this, and I have kept track via publish/hot fix patches.
I am running these missions as a Master BH.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First release
35/41 missions [14.6% dud missions]
Boss 17%, Elite 31%, Normal 52%
BH scheme - 29%
Attachment - 25%
Component - 9% (armor cores, casings, cells, scopes, stocks)
Crystal - 6%
Other - 9% (paintings, melons, warm hats, heavy duty leather, weapons, etc.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Second release (hot patch)
107/121missions [11.5% dud missions]
Boss 20%, Elite 35%, Normal 45%
BH scheme - 25%
Attachment - 6.5%
Component - 7.5% (armor cores, casings, cells, scopes, stocks)
Crystal - 5.5%
Other - 15% (paintings, melons, warm hats, heavy duty leather, weapons, etc.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thirdrelease
113/119missions [5% dud missions]
Major change in this loot release is that master BH no longer get normal level mark missions
Boss 25%, Elite 75%
BH scheme - 24%
Attachment - 13%
Component - 6% (armor cores, casings, cells, scopes, stocks)
Crystal - 6%
Other - 18.5% (paintings, melons, warm hats, heavy duty leather, weapons, etc.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fourthrelease [current BH loot version]
81/93missions [13% dud missions]
Major change in this loot release is that Boss missions seem to be more rare, and weapon components drop from Boss only (so far)
*Need to run more missions to improve the %*
*Need to run more missions to improve the %*
Boss 12%, Elite 88%
BH scheme - 21%
Attachment - 11%
Component - 2.5% (casings, cells, scopes, stocks)
Crystal - 5%
Other - 20% (paintings, melons, warm hats, heavy duty leather, weapons, cores, etc.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall stats that I have seen that are consistent through all the loot revisions:
Bugs 12% (88% to get one of the 4 tier 3 smuggler parts)
Dud missions 10% (mission that go incomplete for various reasons)
BH schematic 24% (basically 1/4 missions drop a schematic)
Once I get more missions under my belt with the current revision, I will update the % numbers, and get into more details on the loot drops. For example how often does a Boss drop power cells?
Hope this helps some people, and yes, they are gradually tuning down the loot tables for the NPC missions.

I ran 15 missions this morning.
Got 2 duds
Cancelled one too far (over 8K)
Got 7 Bosses - one dropped 3 items(tape,crystal, and plating) -others dropped average stuff.
The rest were Elites of course.
I got 2 schematics and a nice stack of power cells, slicing stuff. ( I don't count bugs <grin>
Way more bosses today than ever before for me.
I'll be interested in your results after more runs. Please keep up the tracking and let us know what you discover.

Since the last patch: 37 missions, 1 boss and 5 missing marks.
1x AA
2x CA
1x BH schem
8x slicing components
rest junk
Before the last patch I nearly always got at least a slicing component and never got just junk on a corpse.
