Hi
I am playing X3 LU since a few days.
Currently I have ingame Day 2. 12:29
Just bought my first Argon TL and would try to buy my first factory/SCH. Before I have salved lost items and bailed ships. My credits are 64 Mio, and just running 3 ST for farming (less) reputation on other races. I have one Argon Nova (M3) and one bailed M6 (centaur)
Now I am shocked. Some Phanon are travelling through the western Argon sectors and there is a Phanon Nova Flail Factory at Three Worlds. When I attack the fatory, a Phanon nova Response M1 (!!) jumps in and attacks me.
Is this game already lost? I thought my gameplay was moderate but maybe too slow? Can someone please give me some advice?
Thanks!

As far as I know Phanon starts the game with M1, they are AI so are given a bit of start advantage, otherwise they would be very easy to deal with.
And yes, having only 1m3 and 1m6 in day 2 is slow any way.
In vanilla LU I usually had like a small fleet of around 10M6, 3 M7 and few wings of fighters till day 3.

That M1 only comes when you attack the station.
So do as you always do, attack traders instead. If you attack the TS in the same sector as their factory is, the M1 jumps to a gate. Then you continue as normal blowing up the TS, finishing long before the capital ship gets anywhere near you, and then you jump out.
Done, several million in damage done to Phanon.
Just avoid the M1.

9 out of 10 voices in my head say I'm crazy. The 10th is singing the music from Tetris
or you can get an m7m and cap the M1. The M1, as a carrier of Falcon Sentinel can stand up and win against higher level Phannon and even OCVs.
Oh, you are at the beginning of the game, my bad. Try not to attack Phannon freighters in sectors that have their station. You need to put a lot of Adv Sats in order to track them after they jump out.
