It was just a muse, and is bound to be an unpopular thought, but I found the idea that jumping with a severely damaged ship could cause damage to be intriguing -something that makes those mad dashes for the safety of lightspeed to be a risk in itself, rather than a simple solution.
Ex (and these are just general ideas):
At 50% hull integrity, jumping strains the ship's structure and causes further damage based on the length of the jump, causing damage or knocking out random systems -engines, integrity fields, energy generators -you will have shaken off pursuit, but paid a price.
Below 30% hull integrity, making a jump will damage engines -effectively making it possible you get stranded in whatever system you jump to next
