Adding ship level / max reached indicators to schematics

Once you have maxed out a ship's level, you no longer need any more schematics for it, and they can find their way to the replication reclaim bin. The problem is that there is no visual way in the game to know if you need a particular schematic or not when you are looking for replicator fuel.
There are some ships I know that I have maxed, and any extra schematics can be reclaimed without issue. But I have many others that aren't maxed out, so I don't want to use any schematics for those ships. I am currently keeping track manually of my maxed ships as a way to prevent myself from inadvertently tossing away needed schematics.
What would be nice is some sort of color indicator around the schematic icon to let you know if you need that schematic for your ship or not. This way, if I'm looking to reclaim the schematics, If I see them with something like an orange or red background, I know that I need them for my ship, but a green background means that the ship is maxed and there's no issue with using these extra schematics. It should also flash if red or orange to help visually impaired folks identify those as "don't use".
Or, if it's easier, just don't display the schematics for any unfinished ships when selecting replicator fuel.
Either way, it would help the old folks with bad memories (like me) so we don't trash needed schematics.
Just my thoughts - LLAP!

Every so often, I go there, and then just dump my unneeded schematics into 5* replicator rations. Then while I'm there, I also go through the unneeded equipment (items that are specific to one crew only, who you already leveled), and convert those to rations, as well. The process can take a while, but you've gotta keep on top of your total items, so they don't get too close to 1,000. Usually after I do that, my inventory drops to less than 700.
Although recently, since I've personally got way more rations than I will ever use, I began just "Discarding" schematics from the Inventory screen without even turning them into rations. Way faster.
