> {{*the helmsman is a spellcaster either arcane or divine*}}

Except part of the purpose of this class is to allow nonspellcasters to use
helms.  Actually, if this was a class aimed at spellcasters, it would
contain +1 to level of original spellcasting class at each, or almost each
level.  This might be reasonable, but this would be a different class then.

> {{*increase base attack to +5*}}

Why?  (It's not that I mind suggestions, but I like to see reasoning.)

Best regards,

I still feel that it takes a spellcaster to "activate" the helm properly.

The reasoning behind the +5 base attack is because there are alot of skill
points and feats being used to become a "helmsman".  You can still be a
first lvl spellcaster and mulitclass in another class.  Also the skills used
for this prestige class most of them would be crossclass skills and cost
double the points to acquire. 

Skills: Profession Space Hand 5 ranks, Profession Wildspace Navigator 5
Ranks, Knowledge Wildspace 5 ranks, Knowledge Arcana 2 ranks, Spellcraft 2
ranks.

Feats: Spacefarer, Space Mariner, and Phlogiston Sense.
