Maybe if there are extensive preperation neccessary for entering hyperspace, that can't be done while doing evasive maneuvers. Like the drive needs to "warm up" under zero G (or practically zero G) for an hour and using the ordinary space drive foils the zero G part. An other idea for bording: If armour is very cheap and light compared to the available weaponry, shooting at ships becomes pointless. Standard ship combat might become, ram, graple, board. And if you have hyper or warp drives, you can have different rules, which weapons work how in ordinary space and when under FTL. Like boarding works well in hyperspace and blowing to bits in ordinary space.
