Questions about T:TNE

Hello.  This is my first post to the mailing list, so forgive any etiquette
problems.  I have been reading the list for a couple weeks now, and have a few
questions for all the Traveller players out there.

1. I own a decent amount of CT (Books 1-6, some adventures, etc) and
   a fair amount of MT as well.  I am considering buying T:TNE, and
   was wondering if it is worth it.  I would buy the Deluxe box, and
   would just like to know if it is worth the money.  (The local store
   is having a sale :-)).

2. Is the Fire, Fusion, and Steel book good?  I like tech stuff, and
   like to design things, so from what I have read it sounds
   interesting, but I'd like to hear a first hand opinion.  How big
   is the book (pagewise), etc.

3. Is the game system in T:TNE similar to CT and/or MT, or will I have
   to learn a whole new system?

4. Are there any sourcebooks available for the system?  Also, what
   sourcebooks are planned for the near future?

5. Lastly, are there any Traveller campaigns in the Purdue area that
   are looking for players?  Because I'm dying to actually play...

That should be about all for now.  Thank you in advance to all those who reply.
I appreciate the help.
