Strangely enough, I go the opposite route, with spacecraft not being able jump to and jump from a target within (Fifth Root of (Object Mass/Earth Mass) AU), with objects without a minimum mass of 0.001% of that of the Earth not interfering with the jump capabilities. A B-type star would actually not be as annoying as a lower mass star, as it habitable zone is close to its jump radius than that of a smaller star (for example, the jump radius for a mass 5.0 star would be 17.5 AU while the habitable zone would be 5.14 AU).
