I have a vague memory that jumping increases the chance of ships being spawned because it resets mcount. So there is more chance of encountering a ship if you keep jumping rather than just flying around.But the rest of this tip is just another way of saying "jump an awful lot and the Cougar will eventually spawn". The Cougar spawns randomly just like any ship - there are no preconditions that increase the likelihood of spawning, it's just extremely rare.
It's been a while since I looked at that bit of code though so could be wrong.
